MQA DAC with Coax Output

I am also looking for a device that can do full mqa unfold and digital out.  I want it because I want to incorporate minidsp and its DIRAC AND full mqa.  Is there a streamer that does full mqa decoding and rendering and digital out to minidsp that does room correction filtering?

Minidsp SHD does have analog input. I guess I can feed fully mqa decoded analog to SHD that converts back to digital, apply dirac filter, then converts back to analog with its internal dac. Would this degrade SQ during DA conversion then AD conversion and back to analog?

I do have the same questions with the MQA, may be some of you can help me answer it. I don’t want to use any of the PC or Roon setup. Just want to stream directly through my Tidal or Quboz from Android or Ipad devices.

Right now I have the Cambridge CXN V2, which this unit doesn’t support MQA at all. I want to know if I add a MQA Decoder on the top of it, would it decode Full MQA using the hardware to get 24bit / 192khz. or even higher.

Here is the setup, can someone let me know if this work?

Cambridge CXN V2 ---> Digital Out (Toslink/Coaxial) --->
SMSL M400 DAC or Topping D90 or PRO-JECT - Pre Box S2 MQA (Line Input) ---> Then Coaxial RCA out ---> My Amp (Coaxial Input)

What I know is if I use Digital Coax or Toslink connected from Cambridge to the MQA dac, it will bypass the decode from Cambridge and use the new MQA Dac to decode. But I want to know if this will work for full MQA decode and give me 24bit / 192khz when using either above MQA DAC.

Any feedback will be great. Thanks.

Sorry @zombiedad, this won’t work because all the DACs you mentioned only decode MQA files from their USB input, and the CXN only has coaxial and optical digital outputs. Also, the decoded MQA would only be output from the DACs through analog output, not digital. Good luck!

Hi Rockrider, thanks for the reply.
How do I get this done? Is there a way to work around?
My Cambridge CXN also has XLR and Analog RCA Line out.

This is currently I have this setup connected to my Peachtree Nova300. But CXN don’t support MQA. I wanted to add a DAC which will fully do MQA hardware decode. What would you recommend?

If I have the right MQA DAC, I can have the decoded MQA lineout through RCA Analog to my Amp no problem.

So all these MQA DAC is only can decode MQA files through USB?

I am using LUMIN U1 MINI with a L1 music server. My Marantz Ruby SA-KI is both a SACD player and a DAC. TIDAL and my ripped FLAC files in the music server is the digital source. LUMIN has a variety of DAC's you should give a listen. A lot of other great suggestions were given as well.
