My understanding is that the speaker is MQA aware and can fully exploit the signal whilst rendering but it does not perform MQA decoding.

The MQA decoding must be performed by an external Meridian MQA decoder which converts MQA into a part decoded [MLP format] stream that the DSP can then unfold further.

Correct. What we don't how is what is required to make this happen, MC200: firmware update, hardware upgrade or a new replacement unit.
