My DAC doesn't do MQA or 24/96 often those selections will result in loud static so I avoid them. However when you search for an artist the albums you see don't identify the sampling rate or being MQA. So even though I avoid them I still end up playing them on occasion accidentally leading to loud static. Frustrating.

It does identify MQA and the sampling rate after I hit play just not before. The static I've been told is the DAC going back and and forth between sampling rates, it's older and just does 48 and 44.1, and unable to lock. It doesn't happen with every MQA title just most.
