Try the three month free trial from Amazon HD or the one month trial from Qobuz. No MQA, but high res up to 24/192!
Pontus ii and Hi Res
A bit new to streaming so apologies for a naive question. I’m streaming Tidal from a Bluesound Node into a new Denafrips Pontus ii via optical cable. Regardless of resolution (hi res or MQA), the DAC stays on 44.1 kHz x 1 multiplier. I tried setting the streamer audio to “MQA to external DAC”, but no difference. Also no difference toggling between OS and NOS
What am I missing? If the Pontus can’t unfold MQA or resolve anything above 44.1 (x1) is there any reason to keep Tidal’s highest res service? The DAC should certainly recognize higher res files...no?
Appreciate any ideas.

Yes, am on Qobuz now (free trial). Currently streaming at 24 bit 192 kHz but DAC doesn’t seem to recognize anything above 44.1 kHz (x1 multiplier). That’s my concern. As such, Qobuz is no better than Spotify. Concerned my new Pontus is malfunctioning. I’ve emailed Denefrips but no response as of now. |
@rockrider Yes, using a Wireworld coax cable currently. No difference. Could it be because I’m streaming via Bluetooth from my iPad to the Node? |
