I'll go out on a limb and say that software decoded MQA fed to the Devialet will sound better than putting the Explorer 2 in front of the Devialet. Call me crazy!
It's not for that!
It's for headphones / Tidal while working.....
I have a dragon fly red but simply can't listen to headphones without cross-feed. I get a head ache and my brain can't deal with the hard panning in some of the music I listen to, so the new firmware would only be used for quick comparisons. I have an Ayre Codex on the way for serious headphone listening anyway.
