This includes MQA. Your results may vary.

I can’t say I hear a consistent difference between CDs or Streaming that same disc ripped to my NAS in FLAC format.
On SaCDs, I tend to prefer the sound of the physical medium over the DSD ripped versions but not so much that I often dig them out to play them. It is close enough that I am happy playing the DSD versions off the NAS.
