to the maximum to make the computer The audio output is the best.
The indicator light next to the MQA trademark is green or blue, indicating that the
device is decoding and playing MQA audio or files, and to ensure that the output

artist/producer or copyright owner.
When playing an MQA file, the sampling rate displayed on the display screen is
the original sampling rate of the audio.
