Roon and Audirvana will most likely continue to work with MQA local files if you have them.So, do you all think that Audirvana will somehow retain MQA even though Tidal appears done with it? I have loved MQA.
Tidal still has MQA files at the moment but they're slowly getting rid of them and replacing them with lossless versions.
There is the possibility that Roon and Audirvana may not be able to continue using MQA depending on what happens with the company once it goes into liquidation, as they have a licensing agreement whereby they actually pay MQA ltd per decoded track rather than a fixed fee or fee per unit/software license. These types of ongoing agreements may not be able to be upheld if MQA ltd no longer exists. But we will have to see. I imagine that most likely whoever ends up holding the rights to the MQA product would be happy to just take a fee to let Roon/Audirvana continue using it
