My PS Audio DirectStream DAC is the same way. It has the Bridge II card with an ethernet connection. It used to play MQA with Tidal, but it doesn't anymore. I called PS Audio. They didn't know why it changed. They said I'm getting the same quality. I haven't followed up with anyone. I use MConnect.
I am no longer getting MQA?
I notice that with my Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer that I no longer get MQA. I now get flac 48KHZ 24 bit at the most where I used to get MQA. The sound is still good but it is not MQA. I know that there was a problem with Tidal and many streaming devices with regards to no more MQA. Does anyone know what the issue is and am I now only going to get flac 48KHZ 24 bit where I used to get MQA or at least Auralic’s version of MQA?
