The thing is in many cases, Roon doesn't really know if a device is MQA compatible.
You have to manually tell Roon if the DAC is MQA compatible or not. If you send it an MQA encoded signal, the DAC will still see the 16/44 portion and decode it as 16/44. Only an MQA enabled DAC will fully decode/unfold the rest of the encoding to 24/44 or 24/48 24/96 etc

I'm thinking we shouldn't be using this Bryston forum to discuss MQA general stuff?
If the mods want to move the discussions elsewhere... But the Oppo is only MQA compatible via USB https://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-...5-Support.aspx https://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-...e-60-0625.aspx Quote:

If Bryston decides to offer MQA, would it be as simple as a firmware upgrade or would there be a hardware requirement?

Unfortunately, for both consumers & suppliers, "endorsing" MQA may be very different from implementing/using it. The folks that control the music may be making that "choice" for us.

Thank you for helping to protect both the industry as well as consumers. I, for one, detest the idea of manipulating PCM, DSD or other codec for the purpose of making a digital file smaller. Storage is not an issue, and I have yet to hear a Total composition sound better than the sound of music I imported as .aiff files from music I own. Nothing on Tidal approached the sound of my imported music played back on MPD on my Bryston BDP-3 using USB flash drive. Why would I want to manipulate an unadulterated recording? The bottom line is MQA is a monopoly over sound for short sited consumers and capitalist offering a product we don't need. Moreover, I have enough discernment to understand marketing. For me, its like a form of another damn Divx.
