I haven't checked in with the Roon guys in several months, but I know earlier in the year they were promising MQA unfolding within Roon; I'm not 100% sure if a recent update has this in effect yet, though. I thought with v1.5 it is "live" - but I haven't personally tested it (I don't use Tidal).
Thanks. Is that a yes?

I'm currently running Roon/Tidal with an iMac as core, by ethernet into an OPPO 205, then balanced out into mt Bryston SP3.

I tried a Roon Nuc, but for some reason It wouldn't play in my system, despite Roon trying for at leas 6 weeks to come up with a solution, so I sent it back.

I also have a Bryston BDP3 that no one can or will tell me why I can't play it's USB out into the OPPO so I can get full MQA.

Oh, just noticed the second part of your post. Yes, Roon has implemented MQA, but it only does the first part in Roon. You need hardware (like my OPPO) to get the whole deal.
