John Buchanan posted about the max data rate of MHR which, as I remember, is less than that required for a rectangular 192/24 stereo channel; so I am certain that the "MQA over MHR" streaming mechanism is being used.

I can't find John's post where he talked of "delivering MQA over MHR" though...

Edit: SpeakerLink sources can query what DSP loudspeakers are at the other end of the cable, so it is possible that if you connected an 818v3 to a pair of non-SE SpeakerLink loudspeakers, regular MHR would be sent. However, it is also possible that the "fractal" stream is backwards-compatible with the old MHR; which would be *so* elegant and *so* Meridian.
