MQA provenance recognises that great music may only be available in early analogue or early digital or Redbook CD format such recordings, if vouched for by the rights holder, can be marked MQA Studio and enjoy the profound sonic benefits of the MQA chain. A second level, ‘MQA’ (green light) is available to indicate that although the stream is genuine, provenance may be uncertain or that it is not yet the final release.

MQA Studio authenticates that the sound you are hearing is exactly as played in the studio when the music was completed and, by implication, that this is also the definitive version of the recording at that point in time. Digital: Mac Mini M1 chip, Audirvana, Oppo 203, Holo Spring DAC, ERC-4 CDP Preamp/Processor: Emotiva XMC-1, XSP-1 Amps: Emotiva DR-1 x 2, DR-3 Speakers: Genesis 6.

The MQA ‘Studio’ (blue light) gives confirmation directly from mastering engineers, producers or artists to their listeners.

Provenance is indicated when MQA is played back. A music file can be altered after artist release, irrespective of the technology used. Provenance and technical standards are completely different things. This also may be the reason why there is not difference in sound, since simply audio processing options in Audirvana are disabled. Last but not least: if I remember correctly if your DAC is set as MQA decoder or renderer MQA upsampling is not possible. In Audirvana I use mostly x2 (for cheaper DACs) or DSD256 (for more expensive ones). On the other hand my cd transport has upsampling capability and there I've left it enabled after some experiments, but again the maximum upsampling didn't sound best.

However I highly value this option and I am happy I can experiment with it using only software. The audiophile music player is now available with its new interface for Windows 10.

To make long story short I am usually disabling upsampling in Audirvana. Audirvana Plus, the hi-fi software player acclaimed worldwide, now comes to PC users. Developer Damien Plisson claims that it sounds quite a bit better than iTunes and charged accordingly (US74/64). Upsampling to maximum does not always brings the best result IMHO. Audirvana Plus is a desktop music player/manager for macOS (formerly OS X). However the bottom line is from my experience: the end result depends strongly on your DAC and track you are upsampling plus correct Audirvana settings. This also bring your PC configuration (CPU, power management etc.) into play. I have very mixed experience with upsampling done by Audirvana and not all DACs I've tested were even capable to work correctly when upsampling to their maximum limit.
