'MQA. The current system is MQA-aware but during the next few months MQA decoding will be added.'
With apparent policy changes (or perhaps policy clarifications) from MQA Ltd., I'm not sure that this is going to happen any more, at least not for "bridge" units (Sooloos endpoints with digital outputs) which cannot output MHR.
For example, as I understand it (and Auralic have been burned here) it will not be possible, under MQA policy, for a Sooloos Core to decode MQA to 88/24 and stream it to the MS200 (which has no MHR capability). Doing so would result in decoded MQA in PCM form at the MS200 digital output and therefore no means of enforcing the correct (and mandatory) "DAC profile" for whichever DAC finally converts the digital to analogue.
In other words, don't hold your breath. Clarification from HQ is necessary on this prior commitment, which I don't think can be fulfilled*.
* There is a possibility that this can be done for the ID4x cards *if* (and only if) the Sooloos Core can indicate to the ID4x that MHR is mandatory on digital outputs. This may require firmware updates for both 861 and pre-MQA 8x8 units. But I think that MQA-decoding and streaming to C10, C15, MC200, MC600, MS200, and MS600 digital outputs, none of which to my knowledge is MHR-capable, is dead in the water. So, frankly, what's the point in doing MQA decoding in the Sooloos Core it at all?
