Audirvana next version (3.0) is supposed to decode MQA. Presently the available catalog is too small that MQA relevant for me now but that could change within a year.
Earlier infos from MQA hinted at that to get the full benefit decoding has to be done at the DAC level but since then decoding on a server/computer works too but will the sound quality be similar?
I listened to some MQA files undecoded and they did not sound better than straight 16/44.1. So if that is all what we can get with Devialet it would be disappointing. Or should I be disappointed with MQA as an irrelevant format which only confuses high res audio?
