Oppo Universal Player Is First Blu-ray Model to Support MQA Music Playback

A firmware update made the Oppo UDP-205 universal disc player the first Blu-ray Disc player to support the Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) codec, said MQA Tuesday. When a user navigates through music files using the UDP-205’s app, the player will be able to identify and decode files encoded with MQA, said the company. Oppo is also working on MQA-CD support and is adding MQA decoding to its USB digital-to-audio converter and coaxial/optical inputs, said MQA.
