Given that the Auralic Aries is a digital output only device this seems to imply that MQA will be output from the Aries in a decrpyted digital form playable on any high res DAC. I had understood that MQA would never be made available in this form. Can anyone think of an alternative explanation?

The interface with Roon is also very interesting - I'm not sure I understand how this will work with MQA.
