MQA pass-through optionality

[grasshopper]

Hi! MQA decoders do not allow any manipulation (upsampling, EQ etc.) of the source files. However Moode has great upsampling and Eq features one can leverage. Would it be possible to enable SOX upsampling and Eq features only for non-MQA files while letting MQA files pass-through untouched? This would be such a nice time-saver as I wouldn't need to manually set SOX on or off depending on the encoded files. As I do not want to loose MQA benefits, I tend not to use the Sox/Eq features in Moode.

Regards.

MoOde doesn't support MQA and Tim the project lead has made it clear it never will.

Pardon my interruption here, but I don't think that Viktor was ASKING for 'MQA Support'. Tim has made it very clear what he thinks of MQA. Personally, I do not agree, and frankly enjoy MQA on Tidal...a lot. That's my problem, I get it. But I think what is being requested here, is merely an option to pass through MQA, so his external MQA capable DAC can still work with it, while allowing SOX to work on non-MQA files. That seems like a reasonable request to me. Tim, can accept it or reject it, obviously.

Viktor is asking for MoOde to play MQA files isn't he?  There is no support for MQA in MoOde & no open source implementation of MQA support that I know of to allow an open source project like this play MQA files.  I am happy for you to prove me wrong.
Hopefully one day we will see an open source protocol to allow us to stream Amazon HD, or even a Spotify Hi-Res, to allow us to fill the gaps in our library.
