That's not correct. You can disable the MQA filter for non-MQA playback
with the menu. However, the Bel Canto Black integrated amplifier that is
featured on our April cover uses the MQA filter for all PC playback because
designer John Stronczer feels it sounds better. All these matters are
discussed in Stereophile's reviews.
