If I recall, Schiit used to state that they didn’t play nice with MQA..but maybe now with the relaxed enforcement and the streaming device performing the first stage they kind of are?

rushca01.......There is absolutely no MQA decoding going on in the Yggdrasil DAC. Most often the first "unfold" of the MQA decoding is being done by the streaming service you are using. In that case the Yggdrasil will play the higher bit rate and resolution that ia provided in the digital stream, but provides no additional level of MQA decoding. There is no MQA decoding going on inside the Auralic G1, either.
