Tidal MQA?

[streamy]

Thanks for your opinion, everyone. I don't want this thread to turn into a debate on MQA... I think there are a plenty of other threads that discuss the MQA topic in depth. I personally don't care if I don't get the full MQA: I just want a better sound quality than what I can get from Airplay because I know my golds can handle much more than that. Having said that, I think I will go with Bluesound Node 2 and connect it directly to the dialog using optical. From what I've researched that offers the best bang for the buck.

My question is, if I did Laptop (Windows 10, probably Bluesound app and Tidal MQA) --(wifi)--> Bluesound Node 2 --(optical)--> dialog, and if I play a 24/192 track, what's the sound quality I will get? I couldn't find a crystal clear answer to this question. Note that I will not be using Roon since I understand the MQA support via Tidal - Roon - Bluesound is yet to come.

In my opinion the best bang for the buck you will get with a RPi3B+ and digi+ or a hifiberry digi+ board that can operate as a roon Roon RAAT device. Quite straight forward and with best SQ for up to 192k/24bit. Works 100% reliably for me. I feed my Phantoms through the optical input with the optical output of the digi+ board. My Roon core streams via wifi to the Rpi3B, not even the plus version without any dropouts for all file formats up to 24/192k.
