One key note is that on the .2 speakers the MQA rendering is only from a MHR source.

Didn’t DSP .2 speakers do MQA rendering before?
I understand they don’t do the SE magic but rendering to their hardware capabilities?

In that case, grats to .2 owners! laugh
Get a 210 and play!

Any evidence of any new firmware to allow Prime rendering only mode?

Does this mean a MS200 could technically carry MQA if the first unfold is done via Roon?
As I understand it, MQA just need to arrive bitperfect from the source to be understood by the render.
