Any good Gary?

I've only tested with the toslink output to Le200, which will not be using the Bluesound Node's DAC. So, I can't say I have tested the full MQA chain yet. As for the MQA files playback, no issue and sounded like any lossless FLAC music.
Before: Le200, KEF LS50, AQ Type4, NUC 5i5RYH/8GB/128GB M.2SSD, Roon, Win8.1/AIR2.1.3/RoonBridge, MM/AIR3/RoonBridge, QNAP TS-212P 5TB NAS, AQ NRG-X3
Now: KEF LS50W, NUC5i5RYH/8GB/128GB M.2SSD, Roon, QNAP TS-212P 5TB NAS,iFi iSilencer3.0+DC iPurifier+iPurifier2, Sonos ZP80+SPDIF iPurifier

One immediate improvement I noticed is that the Bluesound app is more robust, loading of artworks is faster, and most importantly, it plays Tidal well now. This is a nice surprise for me as in China, Tidal is not officially supported.
Update: After reindexing my Bluesound library, I can see the MQA files and play them. Technical specs says its bitrates is 24bit and MQA sampling is 352800Hz.
is that 35280Hz ????
No, it is 352800Hz. But, I found out not all MQA-encoded files has the same sampling rate.

Enabled Line-In on my Le200 and connect them to Bluesound RCA output. Listening to North Country II (Stone Rose album) by Ola Gjeilo, around 2:21 min when the trumpet is played, it is liked listening to it live. This makes me wanted to listen to more MQA contents.

No, it is 352800Hz. But, I found out not all MQA-encoded files has the same sampling rate. OK, yes I saw Antoine's post also. I think that's effectively 'DXD' format, an insanely high sampling rate. Adequate, that's for sure!
