MQA DAC with Coax Output

Thanks. I’ve heard the anti-MQA arguments and it seems like people who have that perspective are very adamant about it. Again, Qobuzz isn’t available in my country so trying to squeeze all I can out of Tidal. A good MQA DAC should also be a good DAC. 

I have the original Mytek Brooklyn. Great DAC. MQA does not add to it. It sounds better with MQA disabled and the filter set to fast rolloff than with MQA enabled and the apodizing filter.



Best,

Cool. Glad to confirm a good DAC is also MQA Compatible. 

I had the latest Yggsdrasil dac and neighbor has the Brooklyn + 
the New Denafrips Pontus,new processor board +  came out in March this year. easily bettered those 2 if you want it cooler sounding, dac compared the
brooklyn+ is pretty decent but a toy compared to this 4ladder dac which has huge dual Toroidal s and 60 capacitors in a seperate section  there are 4 ladder
resistors and 141 capacitors for the digital filtering over 17 lbs for $1700
isold my Yggs and never  regretted it great service arrived within 4 days of shipping ,the new model noticeably better still.
if you have $2800 the Denafrips Venus is better still ,that being said the New Pontus does everything very well ,nicely  balanced and detailed with a slightly warm natural balance.

I am also looking for a device that can do full mqa unfold and digital out.  I want it because I want to incorporate minidsp and its DIRAC AND full mqa.  Is there a streamer that does full mqa decoding and rendering and digital out to minidsp that does room correction filtering?

Minidsp SHD does have analog input. I guess I can feed fully mqa decoded analog to SHD that converts back to digital, apply dirac filter, then converts back to analog with its internal dac. Would this degrade SQ during DA conversion then AD conversion and back to analog?
