MQA is lossy... What part of lossy do you not understand... Why would you want to break small signals by using MQA... Most Chord DACs really want to use native PCM small signal data... MQA and DSD are not really what Chord DACs are designed to perform best on... Maybe do a little of your own research... Google is your frenemy... See what the designer Rob Watts has to say about his design and what he thinks about MQA and DSD...
Chord TT2 - use Tidal or Qobuz?
Seems qobuz is a better choice with a chord dac. Simply because mqa cant be fully unfolded by chord, only up to 96 for an mqa tune, when it should be 192 or higher. So qobuz on chord offers non mqa hi rez tunes that would seem better suited for chord.
having said this, why would anyone use tidal thru a chord non mqa dac??
