I owned an Mytek Manhattan II and PS Audio Directstream, and the PS Audio always sound more smooth and analog, easier on the ears. I don't think of MQA as being particularly important, but if you live by Tidal I guess it's something to think about. 

IMO you can get much better sound out of the PS Audio by converting USB or even ethernet to I2S with a Matrix X-SPDIF2 or Denfrips GAIA.
