Strange things happen!
I was listening to my CD rip of new Offa Rex album and this is what it showed
I bought a few Freddie White albums last night
Should I wait for the fix to this issue before ripping?
Thanks

No, the fix will just require a rescan of the affected albums, nothing more involved that that.
This is occurring for newly imported files. My 24/96 vinyl rips that I create end up having 1 or more tracks showing MQA. I imported a downloaded mp3 compilation from a band yesterday. One song there also shows MQA. No difference in bit or sample rates for these files, they just randomly get the MQA designation. As pointed out, this is only impacting material imported newly imported. Donât see any existing albums showing MQA incorrectly, so Iâm sure all of these albums will need a re-scan once the issue is fixed.
I have seen a few MQA tags too today. I donât have any MQA tracks.
Weâve all seen numerous examples, so really makes me wonder how thoroughly this was actually tested before release. 
Iâm seeing about â
of newly-added albums showing as âMQAâ and, of course, none of them are. Seems this would have shown up testing use case #1 (i.e., add new album, see if the code works . . . ) 
I have added quite a few albums since the latest Roon update, own rips, downloads (Red Book and HiRes from numerous sources), brand new and old releases, but there was only one that had the âfalse MQAâ glitch. Thatâs hardly âone thirdâ, is it?
Isnât is a bit âeagerâ to suggest that the new MQA-sniffing functionality wasnât tested thorougly?
Of course it was, like everything else Roon puts out. But there are a gazillion different tracks out there. And itâs so very, VERY cutting edge what theyâre doing with this⌠Glitches will happen, and like Mike said: theyâre on it.
The fix will come soon enough, and until that time the tracks will play without a problem. So cut them some slack and be glad that the good people @Roonlabs are actually âon itâ.
SheeshâŚ
. . . and my experience is different.
Iâve added 12 new albums this week, and 5 of them have the âMQAâ issue - MORE than â .
Sheesh. . .
Sometimes I think we need a 
option.

Iâm not doubting that, and I can even understand a certain degree of frustration. But the tracks play just fine, so itâs a very minor (and temporary, Iâm sure) inconvenience.
I felt - and still feel - that your accusation of insufficient testing is speculative and uncalled for.
Frankly, I donât care about the label - doesnât matter to me at all, as Iâm not looking for MQA content at this time. I simply was making a comment that itâs hard to understand how this was not caught in testing. Not sure why this is so seemingly controversial.
I got about 25000 tracks ++ in my NAS more than 60% are .WAV and the rest is .dsf files, none exhibited this issues. I think those who have .flac files are more easily mislabeled. Small issue thoughâŚ
It wasnât spotted because⌠here is the kicker⌠because It Wasnât spotted⌠Stuff happens all the time. Knowbody died and a fix is pending. First world non issue I think.
None exhibited the issue cause theyâre already in the library. You probably havenât added anything. This has happened to now more than a dozen of my last 25 albums added, spanning formats. Randomly happening with my new vinyl rips and with my second Roon library it is happening with different albums than on my main library.
So I tend to agree that this wasnât well tested. Way too easy to reproduce.
Well, itâs well tested now lol
I agree, this should have been caught before the release. Anything related to audio analysis is especially annoying to get wrong. This week, I will be following up with the team to figure out how this slipped through the cracks and how we can prevent similar problems going forward.
Hi @support,
I just added a rip from 1986 yearâs CD to Roon and noticed that it identified one of the track as FLAC 44.1kHz 16bit, MQA 64000.0kHz. Iâm pretty sure that this behaviour is a bug as no MQA existed in 1986 
Is this a known problem or something new so I have to upload this track in PM to support staff? Roon core v1.3 (build 242)
[Moved from another thread - question answered above]
Iâve just encountered a similar problem with a recently imported album labeled âMixed Track Formats.â âALAC 44.1kHz 16bitâ appears beneath each track except one, which reads âALAC 44.1kHz 16bit, MQA 4096000.0kHz.â Like the OP, I used dBpoweramp to rip the album from a CD. However, I can find nothing about the file or in the file tags that would account for the MQA label. Even âView File Infoâ within Roon shows a normal ALAC 16/44.1 file.
Only Disc 1 of the two disc set is affected. Iâve tried deleting and reimporting the album. Does anyone at support have any thoughts about what might be going on?
Think this is due the latest update from roon. They acknowledged that the code they received to better identify MQA tracks, apparently does this not entirely correct and produces false positives. Roon is working on it. So pretty sure nothing wrong on your side.
