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

MQA files turning DSP off?

Hmmm… You raise a good point here… If I recall correctly, you can choose between:

1- No MQA Device – First unfold and (I expect) upsample

2- MQA Renderer – First unfold, no upsample

3- MQA Passthrough – Signal untouched

(exact wording escapes me now)

Choosing 2 or 3 surely must avoid any upsampling or else it would not be able to render or decode respectively.

As you already know:

Audirvana, MQA first unfold, and upsampling...

There’s been no indication anywhere on any forum (or in Audirvana software itself) that MQA had already allowed DSP after the 1st unfold in A+ all this time.

So firstly, I owe you an apology for questioning your guess.

Secondly, congratulations on your correct guess.

Thirdly, since you’re on a roll, can you give me the next winning Powerball numbers in advance?

It’s safe to now assume Roon will absolutely have DSP after the 1st MQA unfold since there is already precedence … maybe lol.
