… we have also refined our handling of MQA content. Roon has always decided when to decode MQA content depending on the hardware you use to play audio. This release changes some of those decisions.
By default, users who have invested in MQA-capable hardware will continue to have MQA encoded content handled by Roon as it has been in the past. Users who don’t use MQA-capable hardware will now need to explicitly opt-in if they want Roon to unfold it.
If you’d like Roon to unfold your MQA encoded content, you’ll need to visit Settings => Audio => Gear Icon for your device => Show Advanced => Enable MQA core decoder.
