Q)
Is MQA decoding possible when using an external DAC with RS150(201)?
A)
When connecting a DAC to RS150(201) via USB-
When playing the MQA stream, you can only authenticate and export the original sound as it is, or you can decode and export it.
However, it cannot be fully decoded and exported.
Decoding is different from full decoding. Full decoding means the case of decoding and rendering.
When playing an MQA stream when using digital output, it must only be authenticated or decoded and exported.
According to the MQA standard, it is forbidden to export the digital output of the MQA stream after full decoding.
If you are using a DAC that does not support MQA, it is recommended to select Decoder in RS201.
Thank you.
