Bluesound Node 2i with EMM LABS

Are any of you using a Bluesound Node 2i with an EMM LABS DAC?  I am using an old EMM LABS DCC2 SE as my DAC and I purchased a Node 2i for streaming.  Before the Node I was using an OPPO BDP as my streamer but the interface and the app were bad and I decided to use a dedicated streamer.  The problem is that with the Node 2i there is an MQA digital format that my EMM LABS cannot read.  The Node has a workaround where you disable MQA for the digital out which converts the signal to Hi-Rez files.  My DCC2 could read the HR files from my OPPO or at least convert them internally to a standard rez file.  But the DCC2 cannot read the HR stream from the Node.  Does anyone have a solution?  You EMM LABS users (not many) have you found any solutions when using a Node (probably even fewer).  Not sure if anyone even has this combination of old DAC and new streamer, etc.  Have I been generation gapped?  The DCC2 is a GREAT sounding DAC even to this day, though.  And sounds a lot better than the Node DAC.
