To be able to play MQA files with the DSP5200.2 I should buy Meridian 218 or 818.
Besides, I'm wondering if there is another options other than Meridan to play MQA.

I read that the DSP5200.2 can render MQA files only if it is from a MHR source.

Cheers

In your current set up your Roon software can do all the MQA unfolding work. A 218 or 818 streamer will likely improve the performance over a MS200.

I concur - there was a world of difference between my MC200 and the 818v2. There was another great leap when moving to the 818v3.
