properly. Otherwise clicks, drops, distortions might appear in the nal signal. Following sync options
are available:
• INT (Internal) / USB / Incoming signal is synced to the converter’s ultra-low jitter internal crystal
oscillator. This choice assures the best DAC performance and is superior to any (even Atomic)
clock supplied from outside because of its close proximity to DAC clocking chipset. The DAC
operates as a master device. WordClock OUT transmits master clock signal
• WCK (Word Clock) / available for USB, AES, SPDIF1,2,3 Toslink, SDIF / the DAC can operate as
a master or slave device.

9. MQA - Master Quality Authenticated
The Manhattan II DAC is capable to decode MQA les. The option can be activated in the
Manhattan II DAC menu. The colour of the MQA logo indicates if the MQA streaming is detected.
• Grey logo – MQA not found, MQA stream is not detected
• Green logo – MQA valid, the MQA is detected
• Blue logo – MQA authored, the MQA is detected and the le is fully authenticated. You can be
sure you are hearing exactly what the artist approved in the studio
What is MQA?
MQA is audio recording and compression format created by Meridian Audio. It is also a new sophisticated
method of digitally storing recorded music as a le that is small and convenient to download or even
stream. There are no sonic sacrices that are usually associated with compressed les. What this
basically means is that high resolution audio streaming could nally be a reality, with songs being
able to be delivered exactly how they were recorded in the studio, without requiring huge amounts of
bandwidth to deliver.
How does MQA work?
MQA can pack up the information from a lossless 24-bit 192kHz PCM le into the sort of space needed
for a 24-bit / 44.1KHz stream. In practice, MQA is delivered to listeners as a typical lossless le, such
as FLAC or Apple Lossless at 44kHz or 48kHz at 24 bits.
