I've never heard "encryption" and "MQA" in the same sentence. In fact, as the decoding will be reasonably common knowledge, I expect PCM decodes of MQA files to be flying round illegally. Not sure whether DAC management will be possible, but that will depend on the metadata and format that can be passed over USB, and the DAC of course.
