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.
The ET3 includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams,
delivering the sound of the original master recording. The ET3 MQA Indicator glows green or blue to
indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance to
ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It glows blue to indicate it is playing
an MQA Studio file, which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or has been
verified by the copyright owner. It glows magenta to indicate that the unit is rendering an MQA stream
or file. This delivers the final unfold of the MQA file.
