Rick415,
MQA, like other formats, can be recorded, mastered, and distributed at a range of bandwidths/cut-off frequencies. One of the amazing things about MQA is that distributing at very high bandwidths costs very little in terms of file size.
That said, recording companies can choose to cut-off the bandwidth of an MQA file for a variety of reasons (one being the desire to not have easily duplicated, master quality files out in the public domain). From what I'm seeing, a lot of contemporary MQA albums are being released at 44.1khz or 48khz instead of the higher bandwidths that MQA facilitates so gracefully.
