Hi Jeje

You are correct and as Chris says with the ability to apply DSP it could be argued Roon is a better option. However the 218 can provide fully rendered MQA to its analog output should that be your setup?
It could also be argued that Tidal offer the first decode and I imagine 99% of MQA music is streamed from Tidal so Sooloos users with legacy DSP’s already have the best MQA can give them?
