Check the RME .de site and/or send an email to RME.

When I wrote to them on a different topic I got a response quickly.

If you are replying to the link:

It clearly states that MQA is not supported. But yes the exact words „no MQA“ are really missing
But if someone reads the full sentence it should be obvious...

Sorry. It took me like 2 seconds to respond after seeing the question but by the time I posted 3 guys got there ahead of me

I meant MQA is not supported by RME and I think we discussed it on their forums and they didn't seem interested. Because of that I also bought a Brooklyn...

Damn this hobby is like a black hole for money... billions and billions...

Oh man I was looking for a dac with EQ settings with MQA. Feel wounded.

Why are you desperate to listen to a lossy format?

I think the RME's EQ is unique and it's easy to get spoiled by it. I just checked to see if it would be possible to get digital out from the Brooklyn into the RME but I don't see any obvious way.

At least at the moment there is no such device. But maybe in some time, if MQA really get a role in the HiFi industry.

Both Roon and Tidal desktop app can unpack MQA, and then you can use EQ or whatever you like. Yes, you miss out on the second MQA unfold, but that's just an up-sampling so it can be done better (in fact much better) by software anyway.

I had an MQA DAC before I bought the RME DAC, which should indicate how important MQA is.

 

[malocadi]

I've had the RME now for a couple weeks now and I haven't even played with the EQ yet. The number of ways you can configure this DAC is dizzying.

Mqa is just marketing bs, why ppl care about it so much.
You want hi rez just go lossless 24/192 not some shady compressed unfolding...

 

[oqvist]

24/192 dont get cd quality for tidal. I dont know if MQA do though havent tried it. True 24/192 is another story but its an obscure rarely seen format.

 

[gimmeheadroom]

I don't get the hate for MQA and I don't understand why it matters enough to hate it. It is not as if albums are only available in MQA and people can't play their favorites anymore.

Sure compression is dumb in 2020 (and it was dumb in 2010 probably) but MQA sounds good. I have seen some Tidal Masters expand to 24/192. I have no complaints with it
