The Reference Codec When Nothing Less Than Perfect Will Do.

MQA is the end-to-end solution that faithfully captures and carries the artist’s intent from studio to speaker, bringing breathtaking sound to every moment.

The Greatest Resolution in Digital Sound

Resolution isn’t just a number. It’s the precision of time, reproducing a performance with the clarity, definition, and nuance with which it was played.

Across every step of the chain – from capture to conversion – timing errors and misalignments creep in that obscure the subtle interactions that make music feel alive. MQA corrects these imperfections at every stage, restoring timing accuracy so that every instrument, transient and interaction snaps into focus.

The result is unprecedented realism – beyond CD, beyond hi-res, beyond expectations.
