This is an interesting thought. How far does MQA take "correcting the final digital to analogue conversion"? Does it take into account all of the properties of a DAC that make up its "sound" and make it sound nearly identical to the original?

If that is true, then there is theoretically no such thing as a superior DAC if it is playing MQA. The explorer2 sounds exactly like the 818 if they are both playing MQA through the same system?

That would be a tough pill to swallow for any digitally focused audio company. Meridian included.
