Playing MQA les
To play MQA les on this unit, you can connect the USB storage device
containing the MQA les to the USB port of this unit ( p47) or use the "Music
Server" functionality ( p50) of this unit to play MQA les stored on an NAS
or PC. Note that the "Music Server" feature does not support playback of WAV
format MQA les. It can play FLAC format MQA les that are provided by music
distribution services.
• To playback MQA-CD, download the MQA-CD music les and use the MQA
Tag Renaming Application to manage les * . This application can examine
les ripped from CD, determine whether they are MQA and build a sub-
folder containing correctly formed MQA les. Files that are not MQA remain
unchanged.
