Are you willing to pay for full MQA decoding in Roon?

[Mikael_Ollars]

Has this even been suggested by Roon?

No, it has not been explicitly suggested by Roon team. I think the question was hatched after @danny elaborated that there are no technical obstacles but rather licencing agreements, in delivering unfolded MQA content via Roon:

MQA first unfold in Roon? MQA? [Delivered in 1.5]

Oh, at the current rates, we have no problem eating the cost for users that use MQA… but to give them a fee for our entire userbase (even those that don’t use MQA) is just a bad business call for us. Anyway, I’m sure you can appreciate that “simple” solutions are not really a thing in legal negotiations. One option on the table is a larger extended fee.
