About MQA files
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the
sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small
enough to stream or download. Your LINA Network DAC features a full MQA decoder.
For more information about MQA technology, see www.mqa.co.uk
MQA files that are streamed bit-perfect using a network connection or from the USB2 socket
are extracted and rendered to the original sample rate. The decoded sample rate is shown on
the display.
MQA files extracted by another device to 24/88.2 or 24/96 and then presented bit-perfect to
the USB1 , AES 1 , AES 2 , SPDIF 1 , SPDIF 2 , or SPDIF 3 sockets are rendered to the original
sample rate.
