Metrum Acoustics MQA Upgrade Module for Jade/Onyx

Description

The MQA module is available as an option and will be
recognized as soon as the module is installed in its socket. The module
includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and
streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. ‘MQA’ or ‘MQA
Studio’ indicates that the product is decoding and playing an MQA stream or
file, and denotes provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of
the source material. ‘MQA Studio’ indicates it is playing an MQA Studio file,
which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or has been
verified by the copyright owner.

MQA and the Sound Wave Device are registered trade marks of MQA Limited.

Please note that the MQA module is an option that is
compatible with most current production Metrum Acoustics devices. For older units,
please check if the unit is compatible with the date codes below.

Jade / Onyx: all units are compatible with the MQA module.

Quad, Octave, Hex, Octave MK II, Musette, Menuet, Flint and
Amethyst are not compatible.

* The module must detect whether or not MQA data is present
before deciding how to decode the music signal. It can happen that the first
second of music is muted because of this. This is not a fault, it is arranged
by the Meridian MQA software in the board.

It’s an easy plug and play procedure but always
ground yourself against static electricity as this can cause errors.
