Hi Kevin,

Yes that would work.
Bluesound Node into the coax of the DSP7200SE, via the Distributor is you like.
Use Tidal in the Bluesound App.
Set Node so "MQA External DAC" is OFF
Speakers will show OFs and the MQA sample rate, because the Bluesound Node is doing the MQA Authentication and decode.
The speakers receive something they see as decoded MQA ready for them to render, but they have nothing telling them its authentic.

If you wanted the DSP7200SE to state MQA, then
Put Bluesound Node into a 218 or 818v3
Then 218 to DSP7200SE
Set Node so "MQA External DAC" is ON, so that now the 218 does the Authentication and Decode.
Now the DSP7200SE speakers will state MQA, as they can communicate with the 218 over comms, which tells them it's an authentic MQA file.

What I find very strange is why the Bluesound App continues to have access to the MQA files on Tidal, whereas Roon Does not ???
