MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)
What is MQA?
MQA is audio recording and compression format created by Meridian Audio. It is also a new sophisticated method of digitally storing recorded music as a file that is small and convenient to download or evenstream. There are no sonic sacrifices that are usually associated with compressed files. What this basically means is that high resolution audio streaming could finally be a reality, with songs being able to be delivered exactly how they were recorded in the studio, without requiring huge amounts of bandwidth to deliver.
How does MQA work?
MQA can pack up the information from a lossless 24-bit 192kHz PCM file into the sort of space needed for a 24-bit / 44.1KHz stream. In practice, MQA is delivered to listeners as a typical lossless file, such as FLAC or Apple Lossless at 44kHz or 48kHz at 24 bit.
MQA Indicator light
No MQA Logo and indicator light: MQA stream is not detected
MQA Logo and green indicator light: valid MQA stream detected
MQA Logo and blue indicator light: fully authenticated MQA stream is detected (you can be sure you are hearing exactly what the artist approved in the studio)
Transport Panel
The Transport Panel shows the current track information and album art

NOTE: You can also access the transport commands using the Transport menu at the top of screen or using your Mac/Windows keyboard (See Application Menu Bar section below).
MQA Indicators:
MQA Mode can be set to 'Decode' or 'Passthrough' in Settings (see above section for instructions)
MQA Status will show green when valid MQA is detected and blue when the file is fully authenticated.

Change to new device in Amarra Luxe before unplugging current device
Resume playback
After adding tracks to your library or creating playlists it is always a good idea to save your current settings
Convert DSD .dff files to .dsf (see below)
Use 'Add to Library' button for adding more tracks to your existing library
Re-scanning an existing library may result in duplication of tracks. Use 'Clear Songs' to clear your library and start over
Your Artwork folder is not cleared when you clear songs and can grow in size over time. We recommend deleting your Artwork folder periodically. Your Artwork folder can be found at the following locations:
Mac - Macintosh HD/Users/{user name}/Library/Application Support/Sonic Studio/Amarra Artwork
Windows - C:Users{user name}AppDataRoamingApplication SupporSonic StudioAmarra Artwork

File Types
File Types Overview
There are three major groups of audio file formats used for storing digital audio data: 1) Uncompressed, 2) Lossless compression, and 3) Lossy compression. Each format has many different file types that encode/decode raw audio data using different methods and formats. There are a small number of commonly used formats for audio files, each with their own unique pros and cons. A brief overview of the file types supported in Amarra Luxe can be found below.
PCM File Formats
These are the most common formats for audio files, PCM files fall into three categories ('Lossy', 'Lossless', and Uncompressed).
MP3 and AAC (Lossy Compression):
Lossy files are highly compressed files requiring the least amount of storage and are easily transported to a variety of devices including phones, tablets and portable players. The downside of lossy files is the compression removes most of the ‘goodness’ in the file, resulting is less than optimal playback quality. MP3 and AAC files are examples of lossy files types supported by Amarra Luxe.
ALAC and FLAC (Lossless Compression):
Lossless files are files that are compressed for transport but are uncompressed for playback without losing any of the information in the original master. Lossless files are great solutions, where space is a concern yet quality cannot be sacrificed. ALAC and FLAC are examples of Lossless files supported by Amarra Luxe.
AIFF and WAV (Uncompressed):
Uncompressed files are just as they sound, completely uncompressed. They are bigger than lossy and lossless files but are the most efficient method of playback and in critical listening tests, would be expected to provide the best sound. AIFF and WAV files are examples of uncompressed files supported by Amarra Luxe.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Generally, WAV files do not support meta data tagging (for example artist, album, and artwork data).
DSD (Direct-Stream Digital)
DSD is the format used by Sony and Philips for the Super Audio CD (SACD) format.
DSD files are a single bit, very high sample rate (64x, 128x, 256x that of a CD) file. Although a direct comparison between DSD and PCM is not plausible, DSD in some aspects is comparable to a 20bit/96k PCM file. Whether or not DSD files sound better than PCM files is an ongoing discussion best left the to the message boards on the web.
There are 2 primary DSD files types: 1) .dsf and 2) .dff files. Amarra Luxe supports .dsf files only. Users with .dff files can convert those files to .dsf format for playback within Amarra Luxe. Utilities such as DFFtoDSF (http://www.signalyst.com/professional.html) can be used for this type of conversion.
Amarra Luxe performs a real-time DSD to PCM conversion to play back DSD files. You’ll see the file is converted to a PCM file for playback (not saved) based on the capabilities of the DAC hardware you are using. Amarra Luxe does not provide native DSD playback.
Amarra Luxe supports native DSD Playback using DoP or DSD over PCM. This method packages a DSD file into a PCM container for transport, the native DSD signal is maintained. DSD 1x and 2x are supported.
MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)
MQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download, while also being backward compatible, so you can play MQA music on any device.
MQA technology is licensed by labels and hardware manufacturers worldwide.
Visit mqa.co.uk for more information.
Explanation of MQA and MQA Studio
‘MQA’ (green light) or ‘MQA Studio’ (blue light) indicates that the service 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.
Users will experience different results depending on the equipment used when playing back MQA tracks.
Amarra Luxe will play back MQA files with the appropriate MQA certified DAC. Amarra Luxe will include MQA decoding in an upcoming release.
To Play MQA files with an MQA DAC
Users with MQA compatible DACs will be able to play MQA files back at their native sample rate
NOTE: Be sure to Turn OFF EQ and have the Volume at Full to ensure a clean bit-stream
Users without MQA compatible DACs will play MQA files back down-sampled to 44k or 48k sample rate

NOTE on iTunes support: FLAC and DSD files are not supported by iTunes. You would need to use a player like Amarra Luxe to play back these files or convert them to a file format supported by iTunes.
Notes About Song File Metadata
Amarra Luxe uses a dedicated Library to display information about your music such as Song Title, Artist, Album and Artwork. This Library is created using the 'Scan' feature in Amarra Luxe. When a folder is scanned, Amarra Luxe reads the hidden Metadata information associated with audio files in that folder, then parses or organizes that Metadata information into the Amarra Luxe Library.
Sometimes the Metadata for songs is either limited, missing or broken. Limited, missing or broken Metadata causes Amarra Luxe to display song information that will appear to be incorrect. Examples of bad Metadata will include: incorrect or blank Song Title, Unknown Artist, Unknown Album and missing Artwork.
If you have problems with Amarra Luxe displaying incorrect song information, we strongly recommend you look at the Metadata taggin contained in your files. There is a free app for examining and editing the Metadata contained in your audio files. We use and recommend an app called KID3:
Windows
Windows Download kid3-3.4.4-win32.zip
Mac OS X
64-bit (standard) kid3-3.4.4-Darwin.dmg
32-bit (for old systems) kid3-3.4.4-Darwin-i386.dmg
If your artwork displays in kid3, then it should appear in Amarra Luxe. If you can't see artwork or other metadata is missing in your files, the only option is to enter that info in kid3, save those changes in kid3 then rescan the updated folders or files.
kid3 showing a WAV file. WAV files do not have the capability of holding metadata such as Artwork, Artist or Album info. Only the name of the file is displayed.
kid3 showing metadata included in an ALAC file. If tagged properly, the same metadata should show for AIFF, FLAC and MP3 formats.
More info about using KID3 can be found HERE
