You need to compare the MQA with a high-res version of the recording, at least 96/24. (I am assuming that the original 2L recording was made in DXD.)
If the specific recording you have in mind started out in 44/16 format then the discussion is different and more complex. In effect, the MQA process performs a remastering of the original recording, but if this is done automatically it will be little different from what you could do yourself using software such as HQPlayer and a non-MQA DAC.
