MASTER QUALITY AUTHENTICATED 

Master Quality Authenticated 
(MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end 
technology built into C 700 that 
captures and delivers master quality 
audio. C 700 includes a powerful 

decoder and audio renderer for the MQA system. This ensures that MQA-
encoded audio files sound exactly like the source. C 700 playback and 
decodes MQA content from BluOS sources.

MQA INDICATORS

MQA indicators are both shown in the front panel display and in the BluOS 
app.

The MQA indicator displays green or blue to indicate that the unit is 
decoding and playing an MQA file. It displays green to indicate decoding 
and playback of a MQA file and denotes provenance to ensure that the 
sound is identical to that of the source material. It displays blue to indicate 
playback of MQA Studio file that has either been approved in the studio by 
the artist/ producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.
