MQA stands for "Master Quality Authenticated" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Quality_Authenticated). From what I understand (and my understanding is very superficial at this point), MQA addresses the inevitable glitches in the way analog signal gets converted to digital. There are allegedly so-called 'temporal smears' that result in erroneous timing of the attack, decay, etc. of the recorded sound.MQA proposes to fix those smears by going back to the master source and aligning the digital signal with it. As a result, the MQA converted digital files are supposed to be closer to the original source recording than any PCM hi-res digital format.
