All you have to do is run the desktop ap into the devialet , you HAVE to use the ap as it unfolds MQA .. if you dont all you get is the 24/48 stream which is NOT decoded. If your devialet is reporting 24/48 then you are bypassing the software decoder and not at all getting the full effect
Easy to hear what MQA does if you got to settings in the ap , go to streamer tab and click on the output properties (gear icon) and there you will see a radio box offering "passthrough MQA" , you can click it on or off to hear the effects..not subtle at all , profound improvement
Without the MQA dac , you STILL get most of the goodness .. IF you use the software decoder (desktop ap)
It free to me as a tidal hifi subscriber..a welcome new years present..and 1.3 should be yet another
