Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital: MQA HW decoding at reasonable cost -Anyone have this?

I’m also curious about its comparison with the Node2 but keep in mind a direct comparison may not be possible. Node2 delivers/streams full MQA only from its analog output. If you use any of its digital outputs, you’ll need an MQA compatible external DAC to get MQA output. For the Pro-Ject, you’ll have to either stream MQA from a laptop (presumably using Tidal app) or use MQA files on a thumb drive, through the USB port. So I guess what I’m saying is the comparison is sort of pointless since the two devices serve very different applications and you can’t substitute one for the other. In fact, you can’t even use the Pro-Ject as an external DAC downstream of Node2.

@kalali - Thanks for clarifying, but I remain confused.  Why is it not possible to send the digital output of the Node 2 to one of the S/PDIF inputs on the Pro-Ject?

You can do that but you'll not be able to take advantage of the MQA "enhancement" if the content is Tidal Masters. 

IMHO one of the biggest letdowns on the Bluesound products, (node, vault etc) are their built in DAC,s. They are mediocre at best, I forgoe the full MQA effect and much prefer the SQ going spdif into my Lyngdorf.

Following up on my own comments of 07/09
POWER SUPPLY: Adds a little dynamics, slightly punchier drum kicks, maybe a hair smoother presentation vs not using the power supply (which is only an option when using a USB cable).  I won't bother with using the power supply, as I'm happy with the sound as is, but if I had no pre amp and were playing straight to an amp with the S2, I would use the power supply. Caution: the one poor quality component on the S2 is the power supply connection...its thinner than an iphone connection...looks like it can damage easily (which has been commented on in other reviews outside of Audiogon), so if you use it, better be ultra careful about connecting, disconnecting or accidentally pulling on it.
