Feature Request: Enhanced Audio analysis to detect MQA
LilyAarseth:
Hope it's not too derailing but I'd also love the ability to detect up/downsampled files, as well as transcodes (from non-lossless sources, non-bit perfect etc).

Not derailing, but this feature simply isn't possible even outside of JRiver. There are preliminary tools like Lossless Audio Checker (and a few others I guess), but it can be fooled in terms of false positives.
Things like downsampling of files or bit depth conversions, yeah you're never going to get the full picture on files like that from any sort of automated analysis.

For the most part, MQA is essentially limited to Tidal streaming service. While there is some MQA encoded music to buy for download, it is a fairly limited market so far, and will likely remain so. Downloading at all will probably never be anything other than a small niche. Therefore, introducing MQA support without at the same time providing support for Tidal is virtually meaningless. In the long run, I see the streaming services as JRiver's real Achilles heel.

MQA-CDs also exist and are pretty easily bought from sites that sell CDs from Japan, I got a couple myself (don't even own a MQA DAC anymore though).
