I don’t see any references to MQA on the ifi site. A cool gadget nonetheless.

@kalali they updated the firmware on many of their products to include MQA support, including the iOne. https://ifi-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/data/iFi_audio_PR_Extra_Ordinary_MQA_Easter_Egg.pdf |
Heard back from iFi - unfortunately MQA does not unfold through Toslink or Coaxial. Apparently the "MQA Renderer", which is engine these smaller/mobile DACs use to unfold MQA, only works through USB. So that's why all the AQ, Pro-ject, and iFi DACs that do MQA can only do it through USB connection. So back to other idea - anyone have a Toslink-to-USB Converter? |
I know this is an old thread but would like a similar solution. I’d like to fully unpack MQA with a DAC but also want coax out from said DAC. I use Tidal Masters streaming from Roon which is running on an Antipodes DSGT with coax out to a pair powered Dynaudio 200 XDs. The MQA DAC would need to have a USB or coax in (the two digital outputs from the Antipodes) and and coax out for the Dynaudios. I don’t want a great expensive DAC but certainly one to do the system justice. Any thoughts? |
