I am no longer getting MQA?

That was “Mike in NC “

I read Mike’s post about the settings but my PS Audio Directstream dac does not do MQA conversion unless using a Bridge II which I am not. If I turn on MQA pass through then I would surely not get MQA as my DSD does not support MQA on it’s own. I am dependent on the Auralic Aries G2.1 to do the conversion for me. All that said I notice some Albums now doing 48KHZ 24bit are sounding better than before the change to higher KHZ and bits. The Auralic app says that the albums are MQA but my DSD says 48KHZ 24bit when it used to go 88,96 and 192 KHZ. Perhaps what I get now 48KHZ 24 bit is the best Tidal will give Auralic Aries G2.1 streamers. The sound is still good however. 

I should note that my Auralic app used to indicate MQA when being used but now indicates FLAC on albums which should be MQA.

It may be you are using the wrong filter setting? In my Brooklyn, if you change the filter to anything but apodizing MQA is disabled.

Hi Mitch -
Are you using the DS Lighting control app on an iPhone?
When looking at mine (Version 4.7, so not the most recent) and used to control an Aries Mini):

Select "Lightning setup" under Settings
From there, select "Lightning Device" (for me, it shows My Aries)
Scroll down just a little and find "Additional Operations"
Open "Additional Operations" and scroll down to near the bottom
Find "MQA Playback Setup" and also "Streaming Quality"
Under "MQA Playback Setup", is MQA Pass-through (to an MQA enabled device) selected?
Then, under "Streaming Quality" (for Tidal) is FLAC MQA showing or do you see FLAC Lossless?

Maybe somehow FLAC Lossless got selected instead of the FLAC MQA option.

Might be of use if you’ve not checked already.
