Aurender upgrades Tidal - MQA -Only for A10 and 20 - lesser models not worth their time


Hello I was totally pissed off when I seen upgrades available the latest Tidal MQA to enable 
Will MQA on the latest firmware download on applies yo their top machines your $3k and under 100H  series don't rate. The engineers at Tidal said that this being a software based download 
There is no reason the 100 can't have firmware code written for it.
Other lesser players have MQA in their players . This smells like a numbers game to try to force 
You into spending double or more for their top end players.which is total BS.
Please note to Anyone that was considering buying a Aurender player.
The 100H has a 2T hard drive ,and a 120gig solid state buffer for super fast response and No moving parts. That is why I bought it .It is a great buy. MQA IS A absolute Must have to hear  their reference top quality files on Tidal. A waste if time without  . Any current Aurender 100 owners let Aurender know how being shunned will not go unnoticed !!

MQA is software. Months ago, MQA files would be unfolded on a computer so what Lalitk mentioned above isn't completely true. There are benefits of unfolding MQA files even if you don't have a MQA supported DAC. I didn't go with Aurender products when I auditioned many similar products years ago. I initially went with the Auralic Aries and they had software for MQA over a year ago but pulled it. Then I moved up to the PS Audio directstream with bridge II. The bridge II firmware had an upgrade yesterday to handle MQA with Tidal. So it is possible to include MQA in streaming units
