Oppo UDP-205 MQA Confusion

I read that the 205 now supports MQA as long as it shows up as a "media file",
e.g. via a USB thumb drive or CD. This confuses me. How can an MQA file show up
as a "file"?  It's streamed. My intent is to use Tidal, via my iMAC to stream MQA
to the 205. (I don't own one yet). Will the 205 unfold Tidal Master files or not?

Sorry for my ignorance,
Jeff

Forgot to add that it’s a CD.

Trying to upgrade USB from USB-0112 and keep getting an error message “no device found. Please plug in the device you want to upgrade” 

I selected fw_upd205_dac_build0115.bin

downloaded for Mac.

Received my 205 yesterday. Update 0115 then 0118 firmware. Streaming Tidal MQA from iMac, Showing MQA and 92k/32bit. Super airy and clear image. Definitely worth $1299.

So where can I get a 205 for $1299???  I didn't know Oppo was going to stop producing them. I hope I didn't get caught with my pants down.

Thanks
