Bump, thanks for explaining this dac and specifically mqb. My roon streamer recommends using software for the first unfold and the dac for 24/192 and above which displays mqb. Changing the settings for the s2 to handle both first and second layer gives a mqa display but with my streamer playback volume starts to drift as if someone is slowly turning the volume down and back again.
Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital: MQA HW decoding at reasonable cost -Anyone have this?
I am throwing my system thru the paces of some reasonable upgrades and found some intriguing reviews on this DAC.

This looks like a great entry to test MQA and have ability to use 7 different filters to salt and pepper digital stream to taste. Only have an older DACs Marantz (NA7004) Schitt (Modi) and older Emotiva AV processors (LMC-1 , UMC-1). All non MQA or latest chips.
Anyone think this is worth the plunge for the money?
