So if I follow this logic in the
Explorer² with a SBT topic and configure one of the Analogue inputs on my 861v8, I'll be able to get MQA into my DSP8000.2-USE's...
Not full-fat MQA of course, and the (line) analogue output of the Explorer2 will be ADC'd, but (most of) the timing & frequency benefits should still pass-through / be apparent, correct?
Signal chain will therefore be :-
MQA files on NAS (LAN Ethernet) ->
Roon (LAN Ethernet) ->
SBTouch (USB out) ->
Explorer2 (Analogue line out) ->
861v8 Analogue in (ADConversion) ->
DSP8000.2-USE's (MHR SpeakerLink).
Any predictions of the bit-rates during this process?
