I thought that with MQA, the display showed the resolution it was originally recorded in rather than what was being compressed down the MHR pipe.

Does the MQA decoder simply decode the metadata and other hints and pass this still compressed down the MQA pipe or does it decode it into full fat uncompressed MHR and send that to the speakers? I suspect it's closer to the former.
