I really want to stream Tidal MQA version (using laptop). Do the phantoms support MQA? If so what do typical set ups look like?
I use Audiorvana+ to play MQA and hi-res music from NAS of Phantoms. Audiorvana+ is similar to Roon, but cheaper. It does not have all bells and whistles of Roon, but does the job for me.
Set-up is easy:
1. Enable UPNP Rendering Beta on Dialog/Phantoms
2. in Audiorvana+ settings, select your Phantoms, and use set-up as in the pic attached here.
3. Login to Tidal in Audiorvana+
4. (optional for NAS) - Add you NAS folders to Audiorvana+ Libary
I had to connect Phantoms to Dialog with ethernet cables to play 24/192 files. If you network is not robust, limit Max PCM to 96. When playing DSD64 or higher files, it might be a bit jumpy at the beginning of the track - just pause, let it load, and then play the music.
HAPPY LISTENING!
