DAC>Streamer>MQA>Wireless besides Bluesound

paul8060, I purchased the BlueSound Vault because I could run Tidal through it and have access to MQA. I also ripped 500 plus CD's. My system is primarily for Vinyl, but when working I love to be able to just listen to Tidal or BBC6 Music. I also purchased 'ROON' as I believe it's a better interface than Blusound. As for quality, I have no complaints I run it via a VAC Signature MKiia into Merrill Audio Monoblocks and Dynaudio C1's. I picked up my Vault used for a very little money...I would not hesitate to recommend Bluesound.

This is not a one box solution, but I have heard the Bluesound Node 2 with a Ayre-Codex Dac is absolute killer.

PS Audio, that's what I use, sold off the external dac/Auralic Aries streamer/USB cable. Couldn't be happier using Roon and streaming Tidal mqa along with my ripped music. Ps audio also makes the DS Jr which is fantastic and has the bridge ii built in. Forget USB, just use an Ethernet cable.

Goose - If you are looking for "a little higher level DAC solution" than the Bluesound I would read about and/or audition the PS Audio Perfectwave streamer with the Bridge II card. That combo will take you to a higher level and more refined sound. Tidal and MQA should sound the best it can. My two cents...

The question at issue here is directly on point with my situation (sorry, I'm an attorney). My only content source will be Tidal. I'm about to buy an NAD M32 with the BluOS 2.0 module (and, although irrelevant to the question, Focal Aria 936 speakers). One of my reasons for buying the M32 is that it is MQA capable. The M32 is a bit expensive, but I've heard and read good things about it, and it seems like it is high quality and has everything I need. Not exactly sure about the Bluesound and BluOS quality, but Bluesound seems to be well liked. Any comments on the quality of the M32 and it's BluOS module and/or Bluesound quality generally would be appreciated.

"May I ask why ruling out the Bluesound option?"

My thought too.  Maybe it's not expensive enough but certainly it is good enough to be included in the conversation.

May I ask why ruling out the Bluesound option?

I am pretty sure the following audio companies have agreements in place to implement MQA into their current or upcoming hardware.

Auralic (maybe???)
