Aurender MQA Core Decoding Engine Update
Quote:
”This will be available in 2018 Q1 and this will be paid upgrade through iPad Aurender Conductor App In App Purchase. For your information, basic things are done and we are finalizing the feature. This paid upgrade will be available for all models except S10 and other model released before 2012.” Per the previous information I had received from Aurender Support and my Aurender dealer I was hoping to have the update available in December, but it looks like we will hopefully have a Happy New Year. Happy Holidays! Jim |

My understanding is even if Aurender does the MQA Core decoding engine you still need a MQA DAC downstream to interpret and render the MQA file above 24/96 k i.e. 24/196 k. You can however hear files in MQA up to 24/96 vs the 24/48 you get now from Tidal without the decoder.

Aurender and MQA
I’m looking forward to this Aurender update and will likely not be able to resist the $50 investment .....
From my understanding, for those using a non-MQA DAC, core decoding will yield the following resolutions: If original MQA file is 192, you get 96 with core decoding If original MQA file is 96, you get 88.2 with core decoding If original MQA file is 88.2, 48, or 44.1; then you get 88.2, 48, or 44.1. Same resolution as the original file I also believe that in addition to higher resolution files, the core decoding entails some processing of the MQA file or de-blurring or whatever it is that MQA does but of course you don’t get all the processing/information without a MQA dac.

It's only halfway the first month in Q1, so I don't think there will be an update yet.

MQA for N10 is Here
Quote:
MQA Core Decoder license can be purchased from within Aurender Conductor. After purchase, MQA Core Decoder can be enabled/disabled by user. License not necessary for A10 since it is MQA full-decode compliant. |
