| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? So, in your world we should become a prideful, elitist group of snobs that looks down on the world from on high? The "worthy" and the "rabble"?In my world, an audiophile is anyone that cares deeply about music and regardless of what he can afford,... | |

Let me explore a bit and see what I can do. Regardless, I can use the MQA output from the Node 2 for my headphones and the Ares for CD quality and as a replacement... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I just received my Ares II yesterday and although it sounds great, there is an issue playing MQA content from Tidal. This was not an issue with my previous dac (Simaudio Moon 100D).CD quality from Tidal plays just fine, but when an MQA quality tra... | |
