MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)

Hegel H390 includes MQA technology, 
which enables you to play back MQA audio 
files and streams, delivering the sound of 
the original master recording.

“MQA” or “MQA.” indicates that the product 
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.” 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. “OFS” confirms that the 
product is receiving a decoded MQA stream 
or file. This delivers the final unfold of the 
MQA file and displays the original sample 
rate.
 
Hegel H390 supports up to MQA 8X 
(352.8kHz/384kHz)
