Top MQA Certified DAC & Digital Audio Players in India

Music is an integral part of our daily lives, and the way we consume music has evolved significantly over the years. With the advent of digital music, the quality of music playback has become a crucial factor. MQA, or Master Quality Authenticated, is a new technology that promises to revolutionize the way we listen to music. In this blog, we will discuss what MQA certified is, why it is required, the pros and cons of MQA, and a list of MQA certified portable & desktop DAC’s & Digital Audio player (DAP) products available in India.

What is MQA certified?

MQA is a new technology developed by Bob Stuart that promises to deliver high-resolution audio in a compressed file format. It is designed to reproduce the sound of the original recording with high accuracy, using a process called "music origami." Music origami folds the data into a smaller file size while preserving the original sound quality, making it possible to stream high-resolution audio over the internet without compromising on the sound quality.

Why it’s required to have MQA certified DAC & Digital Audio player?

MQA technology is designed to improve the sound quality of digital music. It provides a more detailed and accurate reproduction of the original recording, which is essential for audiophiles and music enthusiasts who demand the highest quality of sound. MQA certified DAC & Digital Audio players can play MQA files with high accuracy, providing the listener with an immersive and authentic music experience. Moreover, MQA-certified playback devices can decode the original studio-quality sound, delivering it to your ears with stunning accuracy, and enabling you to listen to the music as the artist intended.
