Hi,

l have a red light, which l had not noticed before, suddenly displaying on the 210 when playing an “MQA” from Tidal.
These are tracks which “were” MQA and had until now showed the usual green or blue. Has anybody else experienced same?

l do understand MQA is not available now but obviously something is “going on?”

Happy New Year

Hi,

From the 210 User Guide:

- Green: MQA Authenticated
- Blue: MQA Studio
- Magenta: MQA Core

It would seem you are streaming an MQA track, which is fine. Although Tidal have "deprecated" MQA support there are still many MQA tracks still on their system.

If you're using Roon, check out Roon's Signal Path screen to gain more insight.

Regards
Carl

Hi Carl,
Yes thanks for that. l did find on google that “red” does indicate mqa to start. Interesting that my Prime connected direct to Zen/Roon still shows either green or blue on MQA’s🤔
Best
Colin
