5. MQA Audio Technology

QA is an abbreviation for Master Quality Authenticated, which is an breakthrough audio technology developed by Bob Stuart, the co-founder of Meridian, UK.

1) Hidizs AP80, AP80 Pro and AP80 Pro-X all certified by MQA. MQA uses a unique ‘origami’ folding technique to “hide” audio signals in files by “compressing” ultra-high definition audio, and uses an “unfolding” method to playback high-definition content.

Non-unfolded mode will reproduce ordinary definition i.e. in flac format, 2X unfolding produces Hi-Res definition of 24Bit/96KHz, 4X unfolding produces 24Bit/192Khz, 8X unfolding produces 24Bit/384KHz, and 16X unfolding produces 768 KHz.

2) You could check whether the audio files support MQA in the
