Meridian MQA

[Devialetuser]

I believe Devialet has the capability to add a software MQA decoder inside the expert/phantom range with a firmware update. Since they have a close relationship with Tidal this capability might not be far off.

 

Let's use AIR as example of Devialet's software prowess followed by the list of new features added in firmware updates over the last year and a half.  I suggest you don't hold your breath.

It seems you might be right. I was under the impression that since Auralic had shown a software implementation of  MQA with the Aries and Aries mini back in 2016, other companies would follow: But just found out that Auralic is no longer supporting MQA on their devices:

To be frank I do feel a sense of frustration with the owners of Devialet expert. It is understandable if you have spent upwards of £12,000 you might have an urge to hear double DSD or even Quad DSD same for MQA but are limited to 24/192. That is the price we pay for a single box solution.
