Does/can the PCP/LMS/SL RPi 4B support/pass MQA signals to an MQA device for partial full MQA unfolding? I have a Meridian Explorer2. Playing MQA files via PCP, the lights on the Explorer that indicate an MQA file is playing - green or blue - never light.

I don't run MQA, however... afaik, to get MQA properly streamed, the streaming chain needs to be bit-transparent, like streaming DSD. You need to make sure that your data won't get converted/touched. 1. select "native" in the file formatting section for your MQA streaming format (flac ??). 2. Now comes the issue with volume control. If your audio device offers onDAC volume control - you need to enable and configure that one - in your pCP/LMS/squeezelite setup. You need to refer squeezelite to your HW volume control. Of course only if onDAC volume control exists and it'd support MQA. If there's no onDAC volume control you'd have to lock volume at 100% on LMS for your squeezelite player under player settings. Let me know if that works. It's just a wild guess. I can't test it myself. ----------------------------------------------------------------- blog latest >> The Audio Streaming Series - tuning kit pCP
