Do they just naturally measure bad or is it that mean ole MQA which the Brooklyn has enabled on non-MQA material.
Some would call that a broken design, no?
As mentioned above (see link too) MQA filtering is applied to non-MQA material if MQA is enabled in the DAC's settings. This is how Amir measured the original Brooklyn.
If you disable MQA in the DAC settings, then non-MQA stuff will not have MQA filtering applied. Should measure better too...
At least you do have this option to disable MQA altogether via DAC settings...
