Poor wording on my part. I glossed over the file unpacking. I figured that a FLAC file would just be a FLAC file with or without MQA and the unpacking wouldn't be any different. It would be up to the endpoint to know what to do with the extra information that is embedded in the MQA file. Same with MP3 or WAV.
