DSD AND MQA OPERATION

AiOS is capable of playing native (not DoP) DSD files up to 512 via both wired Ethernet and wireless

Wi-Fi inputs as well as from the USB/SD inputs. You can also choose to access a computer that is

connected wirelessly to your network. If using Wi-Fi as your network connection, it is recommended

to use a 5 GHz router and have a very robust signal at AiOS' location.

However, this adds another potential interruption in the signal path when playing large files, such as

DSD, etc. For the fastest and most reliable playback, a wired Ethernet connection is recommended

to both AiOS as well as to your computer(s).

Studio" [denoted by the "." After "MQA", like such; "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

Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB-A, and SD Card inputs are all capable of MQA playback. SPDIF inputs of AiOS

are not capable of MQA playback. Additionally, when playing MQA files the optical and coaxial

outputs will NOT pass through any signal.

Upon Playback of an MQA encoded file," MQA" or "MQA." indicates that the

unit is decoding and playing a MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance

to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. ''MQA
