to a player that plays FLAC as MQA only uses bits 16 through 24 of the standard FLAC 44.1/24 or 48/24 packet so any player capable of playing 44.1 FLAC will play an MQA encoded file.
But will it sound the same?
Link below says no.

In Audiostream, there are some 90 comments on the MQA review. Out of these, some 30 are from the reviewer who seems to be pushing it like no tomorrow. As he seems to be the only person supplied with a range of encoded music, the review is, to me, an unsubstantiated account of what was heard.
In time, more will be known and I hope that no one will rush in with orders for the new $20000 MQA enabled flagship dac.
"I don't know why MQA is regarded..by some as hires. I would class it as lowres being made to 'sound' better ?"
You are exactly right. Why people fall for this is fairly simple. Most people are foolish and are easily taken in by promoters. In this case, the chief promoter is a "fellow of the AES" which is nothing but a so-called "professional" society, a club out to scam the public.
Hires, High-end, etc. is about high money. Not much to do with good sound.

The proprietors are Imperial College graduates of some standing. However, they have a history of format promotion and bashing.
I, and many others, had chosen not to apply to Imperial because there were very few women students at the time (and too much testosterone). Instead, I went to a London University College with many more female arts and science students, and benefitted from the socialinteractions.
That is so damn funny to this American. Haha, you bragging about your "social interactions." Priceless.

and I try to be a better man now as I near 50, I really do. Although I am younger than many of the long-timers on this site, I'd like to to think that I am aging with a bit of grace. But all I can think most days when I visit here is that all that is left is a bunch of Aspergers wankers that have never lived a rich life. I suppose I have been extraordinarily lucky to have had a very full life of wine, women and song. Lordy.
less tolerant and therefore not better.It is none of your business when I have a conversation with TL.
