MQA thoughts

Anything above that shows your DAC can unfold MQA. Later models have MQA so contact Berkeley and ask if a firmware update is available.

You have to set the 701T to MQA which does the first upsample to 88 khz and then the Berkeley DAC recognizes the MQA format and decodes it the rest of the way.
