A very speedy response from Carl at Roon......
A/D conversion time correction YES as this is done when the audio is encoded.
D/A conversion time correction ... at present MQA s/w decode is using a "default" DAC profile.
To get the full correction 'de-blurring' a specific DAC profile is required ... we have not seen any example of this in the market as yet. Provide the MQA decoder s/w knows what DAC is connected and there is a profile for it ... the it can be performed.
That said I believe the very best results will only be achievable with MQA DAC hardware, as the tolerances can be tuned and managed more closely by the designer / manufacturer.
