Clarification: the TIDAL app operates differently depending on whether a MQA DAC is or a non-MQA DAC is connected.

With an MQA DAC connected the TIDAL app unfolds MQA to the full 24/384

With a non-MQA DAC connected the TIDAL app will only unfold MQA to 24/96

I am talking about unfolding MQA actually within the TIDAL app, not simply passing through MQA to the end device.

The TIDAL app can tell whether I have an MQA DAC connected even if the actual MQA decoding is happening within TIDAL.
