On the Bluesound app with Tidal MQA it doesn't seem to display the technical info such as bits and sampling frequency. Furthermore it isn't clear to me how much unfolding the Node 2 does with MQA files when outputting to the digital output. As you know full MQA is only performed if the end DAC is known, so I assume what is output from the optical port will be MQA core. If it is core, it still isn't clear to me if it unfolds fully to 192kHz or only 96kHz. MQA is one of the most confusing things to come out in the audiophile world in a long time.
Agree on this to 100%. I also have not completely understood this standard. Currently I use Tidal MASTER/MQA via the Tidal Desktop APP and Airplay which works SUPER so far. Absolutely ZERO gaps or distortions compared with HIFI which is completely strange to me... However, I am also considering to buy a Bluesound Node 2 because it is a very interesting concept when connected to Phantom via TOS.
4 x Gold Phantom via LAN, 2 x Silver Phantom via LAN, Dialog, Remote, Tidal HiFi (Masters/MQA), Bluesound node II (TOS-link to Dialog, MQA), Roon (Mac)
