Of course. If you set the endpoint capabilities to “Decoder” or “Decoder and Renderer”, then Roon will pass through the MQA stream bit-perfectly *unless* you have enabled MQA-compatible DSP in Roon.

In this case (DSP enabled), Roon will decode the MQA, perform the DSP, and — if the Roon endpoint has been set as “Renderer” or “Decoder and Renderer” — add back the “signalling information” needed for rendering.
