modify normals smoothing angle on import for better bakes ?

Is it possible to import highpoly model so that its normals smoothing angle is 1 or less. Thing is, I decimate a model in zbrush and it creates a lot of triangles. It looks fine until marmoset 3 average normals on import which creates lots of small shading artefacts on my bakes.

Marmoset Toolbag does not average the mesh normals on import, it simply loads the mesh normals as saved in the OBJ/FBX/etc file.

You can set up your mesh normals up however you like in your 3D modeling app, and Toolbag will load them.

Ok thanks. Its Zbrush obj exporter which creates smooth  normals by default. I tried exporting with fbx without smoothing normals and it worked. However, I also noticed that even with smooth normals fbx mesh looks much better than obj mesh.
