OK but then it has to be streamed as 24 bit files , embedding in the LSB's of a 16 bit is imho making more damage than god , But the good thing is that if is done in a flac or wav container anything not supporting MQA can just discard the information . LMS or Squeezebox does not even have to be aware . if you keep volume at 100% the MQA enabled DAC conected to your squeezebox willl find the secret sauce and do it's thing . So to support this nothing have to be done in LMS or the plugin ? However an analog out on a RasPI or something ,then someone has to write an player supporting it , to keep the pet bat happy :) eric would not be pleased otherwise..... Suppose people want some transcoding solution for their existing Transporter or Touch and its analog out (would be piontless on any other squeezebox as they only do 48k) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
