QRONO BY MQA LABS HITS THE MARKET

MQA Labs say “The QRONO technologies can enable time performance that exceeds the best analogue systems. The audible improvement is immediate”.

MQA QRONO

MQA Labs, the audio IP team within the Lenbrook Media Group, is announcing two new technologies within its QRONO product line. QRONO dsd sets a new standard in DSD-to-PCM converters, and QRONO d2a is designed to get the best audio performance out of every DAC. Both technologies will hit the market this month in Bluesound’s latest streamer, the NODE ICON.

“The problems introduced by traditional digital audio filters are well understood, and QRONO is the platform that offers solutions for our hardware partners and licensees,” comments Al Wood, MQA Labs’ Director of Engineering. “We focus on the meticulous application of fundamental signal processing techniques. These include filters and noise shapers that improve the overall impulse response and transparency of digital-to-analogue conversion to get the absolute best from each DAC chip. DSD conversion is handled with the lightest possible touch to preserve all the crucial time details in the recording. We are delighted by the audio results from the QRONO integration in Bluesound’s NODE ICON and believe owners of the Icon will find the audio performance to be next level.”

LENBROOK MEDIA GROUP

Lenbrook acquired MQA back in 2023. MQA Labs will be attending upcoming events, including CES, NAMM and ISE, to demonstrate QRONO and meet with partners interested in licensing these solutions, as well as others from the Lenbrook portfolio.

HiFi PiG Says: Lenbrook seems to be integrating MQA into their brands, including the popular Bluesound.
