So, now that we can get from Toslink to Coaxial with the iPurifier - is there a DAC that unfolds MQA via coax under $400?

After digging around iFi, I think that the iOne DAC actually does everything I’m looking for $200. Toslink Optical with MQA unfolding. Their input is a Hybrid Toslink/Coaxial connection, which is really slick, and looks like it just has coaxial! They should make this more clear! I sent them an email to confirm. Anybody hear this little box? Thanks! |
@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? |
