Foget Tidal (MQA) and subscribe to Qobuz (hi-rez PCM). No special requirements to play high resolution files. No special DAC required.
Understanding MQA/tidal/ DA conversion
Hi - I have both an oppo 205 and 203, and considering selling one to help fund a Levinson integrated. The new 5802 and 5805 day they can handle MQA and apparently high rates of digital conversion. I find all the dsd/dxd/pcm DoP lingo a bit confusing so the cut through question is can the oppos, when used for streaming tidal, output the highest quality signal from Tidal Masters and can the Levinsons convert that signal to its maximum potential? If yes I think using either of those as a transport would have seemingly equal outcomes of just pushing the digital signal out.

I agree with @vinylvalet Do yourself and the audio world a favor and let MQA pass away. |
appreciate the suggestion, my constraint is we have a TIDAL family plan so we're all paying $30 a piece for the full year, so will have this for at least the next year or more as I'm the only one who cares about the HIFI component, the rest just like the service. So with the QOBUZ piece though, would the Oppo (or any streamer) output a high rez signal directly to the DAC? I have tried but don't fully understand how it all comes together. I need Digital Audio for Dummies....
