Not really. You need the SE speakers for the "ultimate" MQA playback, but according to Bob or Richard (can't remember which), getting to 96k is really important; and 96k will play on anything that is 96/24 capable - a 96/24 decoded-MQA stream would even work with legacy processors and DSP modes... However, there have been hints that it could be better than 96/24 in legacy 96/24 loudspeakers, but we just don't know.
