You can use PC Tidal App to do 1st unfold MQA to 96/24 or 88/24 which sounds fantastic. If you have MQA compatiable DAC. Then let MQA direct through to double unfold to 192/24 or 172/24. The 96/24 and 88/24 is the sweet spot from Redbook to HiRes music. For many
Quality of music after 1st MQA unfold
Ive been taking a serious look at the new Bel Canto e.One Stream to add a high quality soucre for streaming Tidal, Roon, and MQA. I currently enjoy Tidal streamed from an Oppo Sonica DAC which doesn't support Roon or MQA. The e.One Stream will perform both MQA unfolding/folding operations and output thru its RCA connection. Its digital processing only performs the 1st unfold before outputing a digital signal for an outboard DAC. My Oppo DAC doesnt have the capability to complete the full MQA processing leading to my question. What is the quality of music after going thru the first MQA unfold then converted to analog, and deliverted for amplification?
