If I put 192kHz into the 818v3 (which is quite easy), the speakers show 192kHz. I asked someone in R&D how this was possible, and was told "we send it over MHR".
I suspect it's doing something quite clever and possibly even MQA-like to do this. And of course, this is a closed system. (Which is fine by me!)
Which seems is possibly the Easter egg in all of this. If you want digital output post MQA, it's either 96kHz or it's in a closed system. The closed system at this point, being a modern Meridan DSP. If this is indeed the case, it's not a positive for MQA's future, you must conceded.
It also suggests that encryption is very much part of MQA, an assumption I have held since day one. The music industry clawing back what they view was stolen from them. We deal with increasingly frustrating levels of encryption and DRM for video. Why should music be any different?
