MQA is weird. to get an MQA license, you have to work with the MQA licensure to "characterize" your DAC so they can ensure that it is reproducing MQA files with perfect fidelity or some such nonsense. if the output levels are dropping when playing back MQA, it is probably because the settings that were used for characterization involve lower than otherwise normal levels, either from digital attenuation or possibly even analog attenuation somewhere.
that said, it's also possible that it's just a bug.
can you clarify how the knob on the front works?
