Easy way to switch off all DSP when listening to MQA files

[JWC (Jim)]

It looks like this is already on the roadmap for when Roon switches on MQA software decoding.

See here and Brian’s other responses in the same thread:

Cannot play 2.0 FLAC files that are DTS encoded [Planned with MQA]

Yeah, this feature is planned and mostly designed. It will be implemented at the same time as when we integrate MQA–since people with MQA capable DACs who want to bitstream MQA to the DAC will require the same mechanism for detecting bitstreams then turning off processing/channel maps. There will be shared infrastructure for this. I don’t have a timeline for this yet–MQA is our top priority, but with two companies involved, it’s not possible to pin a date down with confidence.
