As the title says - explorer2 updated with latest firmware, latest drivers. Using Foobar to try to run clean out to the Explorer2.

It won't switch to MQA mode. Lights stay white. I've seen previous posts state that the playback settings need to match the file's. I can't fathom how that could be the case. Having to change the Explorer2's settings every single time a new track comes up is insane. Is there any chance there is some other issue?

Has anyone else had issues getting this thing to switch to MQA mode?

You have to set your PC/Mac to The files native resolution 44 or 48Khz or install
a program that automatically switch to the files native resolution.
If you have set your PC to output 192 the MQA files flag won't be seen by the Explorer
as your PC/Mac has altered the file
