I was at a local dealer recently listening to a pair of 800D3s driven by c2600 and 1.25s. Source was Bluesound Vault, essentially a Node with a hard drive. Tidal was streaming various tracks CD vs MQA. Holy! To my ears, MQA seemed to have lifted a veil on all music. Was able to hear every single detail, instruments sounded more organic. Week after, picked up a pair of new Node 2is.
