That's not good it means that MQA decoding is needed or you actually get less than CD quality ? Even if the file is playable . I was under the impression that at least got 16 bit quality . I understand the idea that you can replace everything below bit 18-20 with MQA info as this is just random noise in any recording , there are virtually no system that in practice is more than 20 bit it gets thoroughly masked by analog noise in your DAC and the rest of the chain and your are probably lucky if the recordings is practically 16 bit . But if you are for DSD , here you get another opportunity ultrasonic garbage in the signal ;) Maybe streaming 16/88.2 flac would be better if the HF content is what you dream necessary ( which is not true in reality but for argument ). A much simpler idea ? All this because some missunderstand sample theory , you don't get better information on the <20khz content by delivering signals with higher content ( note that recording with high sample rate is good because it simplifies the ADC filters no brick wall filter needed ,nothing else ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
