I believe the MQA is from the chip, not the implementation of it. so, it's likely they bought the chip, and it's "included", so why not advertise about it? us on ASR do not care about it but many people still think it's an improved format. in the end, they need to sell to wider market alsoLooks great, shame that it includes MQA as that probably added a few dollars to the price of the unit. A device worth remembering if friends ask for recommendations for a new DAC.
Got any measurements of the filter(s)?
put this in a better case and sell it for $99 and you have an end game DAC ...
