Please tell me Qobuz has not fallen to MQA(!?!?!) I just played Gretchen Parlato´s Flor-album. It has been marked as 24-44,1k Flac, but Roon (without any upsampling etc.) informs it to be 88,2k. This is also verified by three dacs.

Please see attachment:

Those files are 24/88.2 - this is from my squeezelite debug log, the from value matters:

[10:03:32.877881] resample_newstream:186 resampling from 88200 -> 352800

Bitrate is 2789kbps, which is higher than those pseudo hi-res files:
