Streamer vs computer?

The Bluesound Node 2 (which is what I think you refer to) would probably not be as good as a computer/MQA certified DAC combo.
I only use the BSound for multiroom streaming and output to a higher quality DAC.
If I recall correctly, the Tidal MQA decode is only a partial decode of the MQA signal. To get the full MQA you need to use a DAC with MQA decoding.
That being said, I concur with 2psyop regarding MQA sound quality. It does sound different, sometimes better, but I can't say it is worth the expense, and I wonder if it may just be another tech gizmo like Dolby-enhancing some features while destroying others.

@cheeg,
I have listened to the Bluesound Node DAC and compared it directly with the Ayre Codex when I was at Audioconnection. The Bluesound DAC was good, but throught the Codex, it was way better. Mind you, this was with non MQA music, but I can't see how it would make a difference.

Since there is no other competitive hi-res streaming source, why wouldn't I take advantage of MQA?

My biggest concern with MQA is that you will be beholden to them as long as they are in business (like Dolby). And, with high resolution streaming still in its' infancy, I expect things are going to change quickly. So, why jump on a bandwagon now?

What I was trying to say is that the Bluesound DAC, while being good for the price, could be improved upon with an external DAC. 
Whether MQA sounds better through the Bluesound, I cannot say.
If it does, then it seems MQA is doing something that cannot be replicated by a DAC ' 4x the price of the Node', If that is so, I would be circumspect of MQA decoding.
