FLAC Files not displayed as MQA

Audio Formats MQA
1

Hello!

I have tested Audirvana 3.5 with some MQA Files.
All the downloaded mqa test files (e.g. David Elias - The Window - Vision Of Her (352.8 kHz).mqa.flac) are correct displayed as mqa.
But my self ripped flac file ist only 16/44.1
I ripped the CD with dbpoweramp (latest Version)

The original CD (Queen: Greatest Hits (+ Bonus) (UHQCD/MQA-CD)) audio files are additionally mqa coded.

How can I correctly rip the CD to get flac files also mqa coded?

Aktually, I have no MQA ready DAC inbstalled, but the files should be displayed as MQA, right?
The downloaded files are correct

Many thanks!!!

Greeting,
Chris

Change the file extension to .mqa.flac.

Hello @Mephisto1111, does your ripped files from Queen: Greatest Hits are all with .mqa.flac at the end?

Yes, super!
That works: rename the files to .mqa.flac

Many thanks at all!!!
