do you have an answer to my question?

I'm trying to see if I can get the files to test

I have some FLAC files, which are supposed to be MQA, but I'm not sure...

If you have a test file and can dropbox it to me via PM, I can load it on M6 and do the test

i'll send you something when i get home tonight,

Hi, I would like to ask if this player would play smoothly big one file albums in FLAC as I have my collection in single image flacs, often 192/24, so it's no wonder filesize can be a couple of GB's. Would this player playback this material smoothly? Given no wireless would be turned on.

any chance it will support apt-x Low Latency ? future update ?

 

[Heals]

Oh, that's comforting.

Think I'm going to contact Amazon...

UPDATE - got a response from AVGear that they have an on going investigation with Canada Post to track down 80 packages that have gone missing from them the day our M6's shipped. So, I guess I'll give it a bit more time...

Thanks for the update, I had e-mailed them but did not get a response. I'm still a bit skeptical, but here's to waiting more!

i sent you the files, let me know if they play and decode.
tnx

Yes, you shouldn't have issues, provided the microSD card is of good quality, like Sammy, Sandisky, or such . I am not noticing issues with my 1-hour FLAC albums

Just tested, works alright. Reads the song, all the tags, cover art, works flawlessly as far as I can tell

So it natively decodes MQA?

So it natively decodes MQA?

It opens the files @iridium7777 sent me, I have no idea what those files are, and I don't know how to get more offline MQA files, but if the files check out and if they are MQA, then yes.

I got two files that can be played by M6 without any issues

Basically, those files look like normal FLAC files to me, so I'm not sure what makes them MQA or not (?)

 

[iridium7777]

i sent you 2 MQA encoded files, the Rateliff file is 24/44 and should decode to 24/88.2, the London orchestra file is 24/48 and should decode all the way up to 24/192.

What does the player say it's playing? If it says 24/44 or 24/48 then the M6 does not decode MQA natively and essentially any MQA claims are false.

If it says it's playing 24/88.2 or 24/96 or 24/192 then it's a real MQA decoder.

post a screen shot please,
Tnx

Okay, so I don't have a lot of experience with MQA, and I've no idea where you got them, but if the files are 24/44 and 24/48, why should they decode to other sample rates? How?

I can guarantee you there's no information above 24/48 on either file, just by using a simple frequency analysis tool. Maybe send the files to someone else who can test what is inside them. To me, to Foobar2K, and to Audacity, a very used audio tool, the files are normal FLAC files.

I don't mind saying FiiO is wrong, if they are, but the files you sent me look like this

 

[Bloodborne]

Kinda sad because of the M6 shortage. Suppliers are telling me it's April for stocks. I want it so bad.

 

[iridium7777]

MQA is coded below the normal flac level and the info is there. your frequency plotter does not decode MQA so all it sees is the regular flac file.

do you have something like dragon fly red or any other DAC that actually supports MQA? if so, play that file with that and see that it'll get encoded.

I think the decoder should 'unpack them' to a higher bitrate if I understand it correctly and it should say mqa I believe.

I guess not all daps can unfold them all the way. I remember the ak guy said the sr15 could unfold them all the way, weird. The only place I know to get them is Tidal anyways.
