Roon tells an album is MQA, but it's not. Identification error

Hi,
Browsing Megadeth’s albums on Tidal through Roon, I came across a greatest hits in MQA, added it to my library, pressed play, but none of the tracks are MQA

This is how it looks on Roon, with the MQA logo:

The file details still say it’s MQA and add a DSD64 (?):

On the Tidal desktop app, no “M” for Masters:

The same for USB Player PRO, no MQA:

The final confirmation came from the Dragonfly:

I see the same thing. Plays as 16/44.1. Must be misrepresented on Tidal. Or, MQA DSD64 means something else?

[macaumetal (Gustavo Girves)]

The thing is I went to tidal, and it’s not MQA there, check out the screenshots. There must be something wrong with Roon interpreting the data

[Jim_F]

Yes, you’re right. Weird.

Tidal do occasionally tag things wrong on the way to Roon.

[macaumetal (Gustavo Girves)]

you mean Tidal has and displays information A on their desktop and phone apps, but sends info B to Roon?

Sometimes. Same with Qobuz.
