Onkyo Shipping Hi-Res Digital Audio Player, Offers Free MQA Update
Onkyo’s DP-X1 Hi-Res digital audio player is available at retail and can be MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)-enabled via a free update released Tuesday, said the company. When listening to MQA on the DP-X1 ($899), the display indicates the product is decoding and playing MQA-encoded music, and a green light signifies the sound is identical to that of the source material, said Onkyo. Hi-Res digital music provider Onkyo Music delivers all downloads as FLAC and MQA files, Onkyo said. The X-DAP Link music transfer application with MQA support will be released soon, said Onkyo.
