Tidal and Mqa

Posted by gsb on January 8, 2017 at 21:40:51:
Totally confused-trying to figure out if I need an mqa capable dac to hear mqa correctly. I have a high end 2 ch system and a dac that goes up to 192kz. I have a Mac mini going into the dac via USB. In the settings on tidal I have enabled mqa master. On my dac it reads whatever is set on audio midi settings but I hear the sample rate changing depending on which mqa album is played. Thus if audio midi is set to 96 it reads 96 and so on. In tidal settings I selected my dac as the output and audio set to mqa master. I think I am getting something bc Fleetwood Mac rumors never sounded so good! Some folks they see a pass through setting. I do not see that-I can select from normal,hi if and master. I have selected master and my dac as the output-thus am I hearing mqa in full glory? Something is different in a good way!!
