Dear all,
I am thinking of buying a new DAC but I do not fully understand the compatibility with MQA. Does a new DAC need to have MQA incorporated in order to play MQA based files/streaming? Or can the conversion be "pushed" up to the chain: to a streamer or music player (like roon or audio nirvana)?
So, is it a hardware issue or are there already software solutions? If so, do software solutions have any limitations compared to hardware solutions?
Many thanks for your answers and thoughts.
