Hello,
I’ve downloaded the following (free!) song:
I then choose .flac and .wav as download.
(Surprisingly the download didn’t even had a file format like flac or ALAC, was just called ‘track’, so I added .flac respectively .wav).
Adding .wav did not do anything, just made the song playable. same goes for adding .mqa.wav, just changed the name to track.mqa.
I then renamed the Flac download to track.flac (remember it was just a plain file called ‘track’ before)
this did also just made the song playable by ROON. Adding .mqa.flac as file type did do no change.
Both ways, the download was not shown as MQA
Recognizing MQA files works in general, I’ve tested it:
As this songs is available at no charge, might someone try this out, too?
Would be interesting to see if anybody has the same results.
Could it be that this is not an original MQA file, just a remaster, thus not showing MQA indication?
Thanks for the explanation.
I checked the file tags within Roon and found no such statement within the David Elias files I’ve downloaded. Other MQA-files I have have such an ENCODER string, and are thus shown as MQA.
This makes me think if the file I’ve downloaded is MQA at all…
@Chrislayeruk I don’t have a MQA device (yet …) was just curious about the whole thing
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was aware of the thread and indeed, my node 2 never displays the MQA logo via Roon, only directly.
In this instance, I connected directly, via the Bluesound app: no logo.
