About MQA
MQA files playback
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that
delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully
authenticated and is small enough to stream or download. The SU-9 PRO includes
MQA technology, which enables you to playback MQA audio files and streams,
delivering the sound of the original master recording.

SU-9 PRO's MQA playback does not require additional software. You can use
foobar2000 or Audirvana for MQA playback as it supports ASIO or WASAPI audio
output. When playing MQA audio, it is suggested to adjust the volume of the
computer to the maximum for the best audio output.
The SU-9 PRO LED next to MQA logo glows green or blue to indicate that the unit
is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance to
ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It glows blue to
indicate it is playing an MQA Studio file, which has either been approved in the
studio by the artist/producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.
