Fortunately, or not, we all learn by trial and error... if there were always the possibility to chose a product in its non-MQA version, I believe most of us would have chosen that path. I for one own a brand new DAC... and yes, it has MQA, but a model without was (is) not available.
Out of pure curiosity I tested it, an I was not able to tell any difference from an ordinary CD-quality flac, neither for the better (wait... what better?!?), nor for the worst (added artifacts).
I just don't care, as I didn't buy it for this; but in the end have (paid for) a feature I'll never use. I just hope the MQA fee didn't add to the cost of the device for more than 50 bucks... ;-)
