Thanks again.

So, in hardware terms, are we hypothesising:

MS200/MS600 => (optional AC200) => MQA device => DSP

or:

MS200/MS600 => MQA device => (optional AC200) => DSP

or:

MS-MQA-capable-replacement => (optional AC200) = DSP

And, it seems, that all the above would demand that the MQA material is either stored in Sooloos or streamed (Tidal) via Sooloos. What about other files that one might want to play from (say) a laptop or disc-spinner? To do that, the MQA device would need a USB and SPDIF input as well. So we are quickly moving towards an 818-type solution.
