MQA DAC or Not?

I’m running a Mac Mini with Audirvana to a DAC and recently decided to upgrade my DAC to a Schiit Gungnir Multibit only to discover that Audirvana and the Schiit don’t work together.
Currently I can get the Schiit dac to work with iTunes but not with Audirvana, won’t run in direct mode or at all with the Gungnir.

Questions?Ideas on getting these to work together?Or should I return the Schiit dac which isn’t MQA friendly and find a MQA compatible dac?

So far, I'm leaning toward liking MQA. I have a streamer/dac that does the MQA thing and so far results have been pretty good. What I have been listening to  is the MQA on Tidal. And a lot of it sounds very good. Could these be nothing more than very good recordings or is MQA working its (subjective) magic? Time will tell. I for one, hope its the real deal as my results have been very encouraging to say the least.
Cheers,
Tim
