Trying both Roon and Tidal. I don’t own any MQA hardware. But playing on my Mac desktop to my Yamaha MG-10XU USB mixer, I’m getting this info.
I’m listening to the headphone jack on this mixer which is quite powerful, using my Sennheiser HD800 S headphones. It all sounds very good, but am I actually listening to MQA…or am I missing a piece of needed hardware?
MQA is a two stage process, the decode, the render, you are getting the decode which some say is 90% of it others don’t, without an MQA dac that is the most you are going to get.
