MQA Rendering is DAC specific, so a streamer which doesn't incorporate a DAC cannot provide it. A DAC which supports full MQA decoding can either provide MQA Rendering on a signal which has already had MQA Core decoding provided by a streamer or software player, or full MQA decoding on its own. Hope this overview helps without getting too technical!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Now, just need to determine which streamer to upgrade to...Auralic G1 or Aurender N100H. I was leaning heavy on the G1 until the price increase..
