About MQA
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. Includes MQA technology,
which enables you to playback MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of
the original master recording.

Supports MQA decoding on the USB interface.
MQA playback does not require additional software. You can use foobar2000 or
Audirvana for MQA playback as it supports ASIO or WASAPI audio output. When
playing MQA audio, it is suggested to adjust the volume of the computer to the
maximum for the best audio output.

ing 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.
