Can DC-37 decode MQA files?
 

I guess it will probably play them, but in MQA format?

No it won't, it will not unfold or decode MQA-files.

The DC-37 was conceived before MQA was even launched; and I have not seen any DC-37 firmware updates yet. In fact, I've never seen ANY Accuphase firmware updates ever, for any piece of Accuphase gear... it's not their way.

This really sucks! For such an expensive DAC!

Why, it still is a great DAC, so many other more expensive DAC's out there that don't convert MQA.

well, it´s a dac, not a decoder :tresbon: :respect:

My reply was a response on Banters quote "This really sucks! for such an expensive DAC"

No firmware updates only the USB driver has been updated on dac40 etc...

Yeah, those are the USB drivers for MS Windows, in order for that operating system to see the Accuphase DAC.

That's not firmware to be loaded into a DAC, though.
