I had just bought NODE (2021 - Full MQA), however USB is yet to be enabled on NODE. I have always used USB and I like it. However With Zen-Stream, it can stream over USB, i really wanted it. Hence I sold NODE and was looking if ZEN-Stream can help. Meanwhile I sold rest (Including NODE) of my stuff and went for for 220Pro. If ZS does not support full MQA then i have very little value to it. I mean its Roon Ready (So is Devialet), regarding my system, its NUC-ROCK to Roon-Ready Zen-Stream -> <Process it> and then stream through USB / S/PDIF to Devialet, "thats one more device in the path". I would rather stick to NUC-ROCK to Devialet directly (RAAT or AIR). this is my own thought, some how if Devialet cannot do final rendering, then I would prefer to go without MQA. <Edit> i have not yet given up on Z-S!. Love calling it tiny bugger doing good stuff in small package!!. Darn I should have kept NODE which did full decoding - rendering and send data bits over S/PDIF. USB Yet to be enabled. Anyways, I m enjoying my simple system with 220Pro driving my speakers, and love my it very very much !
