Hope this helps, it can be confusing and hopefully my explanation didn't make it even more so!

This is my first substantive post!
I have a Nuprime Evolution DAC, which claims to be full MQA via a usb output. I’m new to all this, and will replace my node 2 of six months with an innuos zen mini which has a usb output. Innuos advises I’ll have full mqa with the nuprime but only by using Roon with Tidal.
Do you have any comments or suggestions ?
I’ve enjoyed and will keep the node 2, but found its DAC a little thin at times.
Thanks
