MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)*

MQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download, while also being backward compatible, so you can play MQA music on any device.

MQA technology is licensed by labels and hardware manufacturers worldwide.
