Ah! Of course - Audirvana can play straight to Phantoms via network. Good solution! Better than Toslink...

But only via it's DAC, not on Toslink I assume?

I see, so you are doing the first unfold in Roon for local files. Then the Toslink of the 2i will output this to Phantom. If Tidal connect on 2i outputs a digital full MQA decode on Toslink I think it may be a violation of the MQA license...

Nor am I. Analog out is normal for MQA Full Decoder. Your signal path also says Digital Outputs. I do not know Bluesound's agreement with MQA, but in general a Fully Decoded MQA is normally not allowed on digital outputs. What happens if you play MQA that is 192kHz? Does Toslink output a 192kHz stream?

I have node2i streamers in my house and I can confirm that the node2i recognizes tidal MQA. You must set the optical output to fixed volume in order for the node 2i to send the unfolded data through the optical out. I hear a noticeable difference when playing HIFI vs Masters tracks.
