I just switched from Tidal to Qobuz since they don't support MQA, and I'd rather subscribe to a place that isn't paying royalties for it (more for the artists). I wanted to find out which of my library were actually MQA, and on Github there's a command line one here. You have to run it in a command prompt window, and it's "MQA_identifier.exe *.flac" in the same folder as the files, but you can use DOS pipes to send it to a text file with "MQA_identifier.exe *.flac > results.txt" Then I loaded into a Libreoffice spreadsheet, so you can sort it from the data menu by column and just have a list of the MQA ones. Probably should have tried the " | sort " filter to make it even simpler.
Just keeping foobar volume down a little (or EQ) disables MQA playback on the DAC, but it was interesting in case I want to do some blind testing later. Just to know which files actually have it, instead of watching the indicator on the E50 display. Feel better not paying into it anyway (got the DAC used).
