Oppo UDP-205 MQA Confusion


I read that the 205 now supports MQA as long as it shows up as a "media file",
e.g. via a USB thumb drive or CD. This confuses me. How can an MQA file show up
as a "file"?  It's streamed. My intent is to use Tidal, via my iMAC to stream MQA
to the 205. (I don't own one yet). Will the 205 unfold Tidal Master files or not?

Sorry for my ignorance,
Jeff

There are lot of high res demo files you can download from 2L, including MQA, so that you can compare it with other formats.  The MQA files are much smaller in size.

The latest USB DAC Firmware USB-0118 has added support for the MQA playback via the USB DAC Input
