MQA with 2 unfolds in software will work through your DAC with no problem. But make no mistake the difference is there, just not like some describe/are so poetic about.Īt best hi res audio sounds a little fuller, has little more flesh on the bones. The differences are subtle, always have been and you have to have speakers that are able to render those differences ie are your speakers "full range" speakers and even then it's not an easy thing to hear. What I think Will is trying to say is, stop looking at the numbers and use what works for you. Anyone who thinks they can hear the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit digital audio through a "17-bit" power amplifier is fooling themselves." This is the equivalent of 17 bits (adequate for CD applications, but definitely not adequate for High-Resolution Audio). It is nearly impossible to find power amplifiers that can deliver an SNR higher than about 102 dB. A 24-bit audio system is useless if it passes through the typical power amplifier. A second key part of the problem is the performance of the audio power amplifier. This is the equivalent of 15 to 16 bits (CD performance at best).īut, an outboard DAC is only a partial solution to the High-Resolution Audio dilemma. For example, the D/A converter (DAC) built into the typical DVD player usually has a "24-bit" DAC that only delivers a 90 to 95 dB SNR. " What we need are audio components that are capable of delivering High-Resolution Audio. Will the addition of a player always significantly change a club's performance? May be the-club excels only in the First Division. Say it's-a-time-effort, Premier League is equivalent to Hi-Res Audio. So now the display says 24 bit /192 kHz but effectively you are listening to a 17 bits /96 kHz recording that is upsampled. It will apply the MQA prescribed minimum phase filter and as the original file was 192, applies oversampling as well. In this case the DAC recognize the watermark.

The last "unfolding" is only allowed in hardware (the DAC is MQA certified because a license has been bought) If it is MQA enabled, it will unfold to 24 bit 96 kHz, restoring the frequencies above 24 kHz.Įffectively is will play as a 17 bits file because the part below 17 has been used for the origami part.
If the media player is not MQA enabled, it will play as a 24 bit 48 kHz recording but effectively as a 17 bit recording because the folded part looks like silence. As a consequence, all information there is lost.
When encoding a 24 bit / 192 kHz PCM file:Īs the sample rate > 96, down sample to 96ĭownsample to 48, fold all audio frequencies above 24 kHz and store it below bit 17. Click to expand.No, the maximum sample rate MQA can handle is 96 kHz even if the source has a higher bitrate.
