Not sure if this was ever stated in the thread but LMS can definitely stream MQA files at least on squeezelite. In fact I don't think LMS cares either way as MQA just looks like PCM to LMS I am pretty sure.
I use latest PiCorePlayer on Pi4, USB DAC (Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M) and LMS on separate linux server. Plays MQA with a blue led on the DAC. I only tested this file http://www.lindberg.no/hires/mqa-2018/2L-038-original-2006_01_stereo.mqa.flac as I have no real interest in MQA. I do believe the issue with the DragonFly Red is that it is only an MQA renderer: it needs an earlier device in the chain to do the core decode. I don't think any LMS player can do that. My Cambridge DAC can do the complete decode so LMS only needs to send the original MQA file and not do anything special. For Dragonfly you need a computer (or phone) running appropriate software like Tidal's client app to do the core decode prior to sending it to the DAC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SlowBart's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13208 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115145 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
