Auralic Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node ll vs Sonos

Just thought I would respond to this thread as I now own both of these streaming devices.  I bought the Auralic Aries Mini first mainly for the DSD capabilities of the unit.  Also for the free year of Tidal Hi-Fi that was included in the deal.  A nice bonus is that I can now play full 24/192 Tidal MQA content using the USB output on the Aries Mini and the USB input on my MQA-ready Mytek Brooklyn DAC.  Sounds fantastic.  I recently bought a Node 2 as part of a Sonos replacement setup.  The Node 2 is great, but lacks a pass-through MQA function that would allow my external DAC to fully process the MQA signal.  I have contacted MQA, Mytek and Bluesound about this and all three companies acknowledge the problem and say they are looking into it.  One more note - you cannot get Deezer Elite streaming on any device but Sonos.  A rep from Bluesound told me it would work, but it doesn't.  Let me know if you are interested in further info/thoughts on this....

Quick update - after contacting support at all three companies, both Bluesound and Mytek have now updated their firmware and there are now 2 fully supported ways to stream Tidal MQA content from the Node 2 -> Brooklyn!

I have them all, but not Mini. I have Altair and I have Paradigm Shift Power AMP too. Depend how is your setup.
Altair I run direct to mono block Vincent SP-998  to VR4j (Tidal MQA)
Sonos Magna Hifi mod with external DACmini to my Tube Preamp to Halo A21 to Opera Seconda (Deezer Elite)
Node 2 for desktop, Analog to Sony Amplifier UDA1 for Headphone (Tidal MQA) and UDA1 decode Hi Res DSD too
Paradigm Shift Power AMP I run Monitor Bronze 2 (Tidal Hifi)
I love them all
