With the latest release of MQA, it should technically be possible to
upgrade SBT to support MQA. (The analog part)
But how can it be done, and who can look into this, and how do we
finance such an option ?
Is it just to forget ?

So no one actually has the installation file ? It's from Tidal webpage ?
For those that enjoy these things.

Correction to previous posting RE: MQA, written by someone not at CES.)
During CES, MQA discovered that wireless high-resolution Music Streamers
without built-in DACs (i.e., AURALiCs ARIES, ARIES LE & ARIES MINI)

MQA is a patented technology.
But why would you like to decode a MQA file, as a reasonable DAC can do
as well as streamers ?
I do not know how hard it is to tap a spdif or USB interface, and save
the file, but that would fullfill your

So even if original recordings is offered DXD FLC 24/384, I could
understand that those resolutions is just close to marketing BS ? My DAC
has limitations, so I can't test how good or better
You need a new DAC.

WOW Mnyb. I'm impressed. Very well written. I agree about what you say
about HD tracks, as I found their so called hi-res not better than

It will have no effect on your present library, as non of those files

You lucky Roon subscribers :D

Thanks for nice information. I also found some YouTube video showing UI
etc. I think at some stage I will purchase a subscription. If I don't
purchase a Auralic product as I understand Roon is then part of what you
get. Not sure if that is correct. Time will tell.
Thanks Mynb
You have spent a lot of time explaining your point of view. Maybe it is
time for me to sell my Touch while prices are still are good, and
purchase an Auralic with Roon support.
I just got email from Tidal support saying the product (Squeezebox) is
discontinued, and MQA will not be

Can I still use iPeng for radio ?
If I have understood this right, that is an area where Roon is not up
and running.
Apart from that, you may use Room instead of LMS and iPeng. Is that a
correct observation ?
