Hello @BergeP,
The Meridian Explorer E2 has an issue with it’s MQA implementation where it does not handle already decoded MQA streams correctly to perform the final unfold and rendering of the content. For the Meridian Explorer 2, I would recommend leaving the MQA capabilities to “Decoder and Renderer”, as this will get you the best performance for your device given this quirk. When you are not using DSP, the bit-perfect MQA stream will be sent to your device for full decoding and rendering. When you use DSP, the device will receive the decoded MQA stream which is still a high resolution file.
Meridian is aware of this issue and hope to be able to release a software update to improve this behavior.
