Streamer MQA Question

I meant the M5's  USB-A Output.

I settled on doing the innuos pulse mini (should be here in a week or so) with output over usb to an r2r dac for some types of music, and a toslink (24/192) to a delta sigma dac for other types of music (loud rock, aka AC/DC). Both dacs do full mqa unfold..  More instrumental through r2r..

I can feed the pulse mini from qobuz/tidal/NAS..

I didn’t go with Aurender simply due to my laziness where I would have to move the usb between dacs..

Sounds doable, yes.

nevada_matt,

May I ask which dacs you’re using?

 

I was wondering if in order to stream TIDAL (which I have a sub to) do both the Streamer AND the DAC need to be MQA compatible/capable?

Just to answer the original question. No - you don’t need to use MQA through tidal you can happily stream music at lower resolution, which is still better than CD.
