Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ?
Buellrider, you're doing the right thing! MQA doesn't add anything good to the soup.. The SACD/PS-3 rip of Norah Jones's album is the best choice! :) 
DAC recommendation

BAT VK-655SE
This is my system and I was thinking of upgrading to BAT VK-655SE...Triangle Magellan Cello II < AudioQuest Everest DBS 72V < BAT VK-600SE < AudioQuest Hurricane High Current DBS 72V < AudioQuest NRG-10 DBS 72V < AudioQuest WEL XLR ... 
So many integrated options -- McIntosh 8900, Levinson 585, Lyngdorf 2170, Anthem STR,
Uberwaltz, why did u change the BAT VK-600SE? What did you like about it? What did you dislike with the BAT amp? What’s better with Lyngdorf? Thanks! :)

DAC for either Roon or HQPlayer on Linux?
I suggest you try the exaSound! It's got a 30 day risk free trial.. The exaSound guys make phenomenal DACs for the price! It's no contest vs the Teac NT-503 or the Oppo Sonica! :) 
Triangle Magellan Cello vs Signature Delta
That mini horn tweeter packs a lot of energy. That is a good thing as long as you know how to match the Triangles with appropriate equipment. I drive my Cellos with a BAT VK-600SE power amp. The BATs are fine so if you detect any harshness or over...
