@christianb5s4 You recently said, “MQA is hit or miss in terms of sound quality”.

I play Radio.Paradise MQA through a Node 3 and SMSL M400.  I noticed, for example, that in some Nora Jones songs her voice is lost in a mess of bass.  A Samantha Fish song goes in and out of volume so it is sometimes nearly inaudible.  I wondered what the cause is.  On the other hand, most things sound great - so why the variability?

Does this fit what you are describing?  I don’t want to chase solutions that are caused by someone else.

Phase I: what  @lalitk says.

Phase II: what @testrun says about Roon.  

Here is Roon overview.  Advance to around the 4:30 mark to see how it manages classical music. 

After you get Qobuz, ...you should also get ROON ....it is AMAZING!

ROON has a 30 day free trial...get the free trial...no obligations and no strings attached.  Roon will revolutionize how you listen to music.

Get the 30 day free trial...you have no idea of what you're missing.

+1 on the blue sound node 130 with an external linear power supply. Good luck !

Just realized I did not put the link in to the ROON overview.   Again, that classical overview starts around the 4:30 mark.
