With the Auralic G1 you will still need music file sources connected to you G1 by either an Ethernet cable from your router, or by WiFi connectivity to your router. You will also have the option of connecting a hard drive via USB to the G1 and/or a NAS (network attached strorage). Then your Auralic G1 will feed a digital signal via a high quality coaxial or AES/EBU cable to the Yggdrasil DAC.

Right, in my case it will be a streaming service such as spotify or tidal.

In that case the Yggdrasil will play the higher bit rate and resolution that ia provided in the digital stream, but provides no additional level of MQA decoding. There is no MQA decoding going on inside the Auralic G1, either.

This is where I get confused:
