Check out a REAL dealer like SUNCOAST who carries MUCH better streamers than listed above PLUS also has some of the best Disc Spinner/DAC Combo's available (Esoteric/MSB/Gryphon etc). Never listen to a dealer who only "talks his book". You will get a biased opinion based on the inventory they carry. Notice there are no quality brands in the lineup for CD Players? Of course somebody like that will tell you STREAMING is the only way to go since he offers no alternatives. (I expect he will tell you T+A is right up there with the above mentioned brands.....not even remotely in the same league spinner wise)
MQA Dac playing non MQA sources
First time post and trying to learn all I can. Planning to buy a Dac soon along with a CD player. It’s going to be connected to my McIntosh integrated amp. To the point.... if I buy a MQA Dac will everything else still play through it with no problem? If MQA is not needed can I choose to bypass it and still get quality sound?
