Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the MXN10 support MQA content?
Although the MXN can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the MXN
does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files.
There are no plans to integrate MQA support into the MXN, as this would require a hardware modification to install a Full MQA Decoder.
How do I set up my MXN10 with a DacMagic 200M for MQA passthrough?
Although the MXN can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the MXN
does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files.
It is, however, possible to bypass the DAC in the MXN, and have the MQA file processed by an external DAC that supports MQA, such as
the DacMagic 200M. This will allow the full unfold of the MQA file to take place in the DacMagic 200M, and you will still be able to control and queue
your MQA files via the MXN.
Please follow the below instructions on how to how to set this up:
1. Connect either of the Digital Outputs (SP/DIF Coaxial or Toslink Optical) of the MXN to the corresponding DacMagic 200M Digital Input (D1 or D2).
2. Connect the Balanced or Unbalanced Output of DacMagic 200M to your amplifier.
3. Select the relevant D1/D2 Input on your DacMagic 200M.
4. Open the TIDAL app 'Settings' on your smartphone or tablet, and confirm that the streaming quality is set to 'Master'.
5. Select the MXN within the TIDAL Connect menu as your output device.
6. Processing of the MQA files will now be passed through to the DacMagic 200M, and MQA playback should be indicated on the DacMagic 200M by
the relevant LED light.
Can I use more than one of the MXN10's outputs at once?
If you wish to connect the MXN to one single device, you can use any output, digital or analogue, that you wish.
If, however, you would like to connect the MXN to more than one device at a time, you can connect up to three devices and play simultaneously, as
all outputs remain active at all times.
Please note, however, that as the MXN does not contain a volume control, you will need to ensure that the devices connected to the player have
their own volume control.
How do I stop the MXN10 from powering down when not in use?
The MXN will automatically switch to standby mode after 20 minutes of inactivity. This Automatic Power-Down (APD) feature can be disabled, by
navigating to the device settings within the StreamMagic app.
You can either disable this feature, or edit the length of time it takes for APD to be triggered, by selecting 'Automatic Power-Down'.
