Ofcourse, Sooloos (next-gen) is/will be a natural part of the M ECO system. We know R. Harley listened to MQA a year ago. We know next-gen have been in development for more than a year and is supposed to be a complete overhaul including new android app as well according to programmers sig, 1+1..
The audio endpoint showing 384k is an SE speaker. SE's received a massive boost to DSP power, improved analog electronics chain that can handle rise times atleast in the 10 microsec range as well as new very high quality Be tweeter. This is because MQA is pushing the envelope here. We could be talking about something that makes DSD (the current highres sweetheart) somewhat irrelevant because of the enormous space DSD of higher resolution occupies, it is not practical to stream. And streaming IS the future, we all know it.
We know Prime headphone amplifier/DAC supports MQA. We know Explorer2 supports MQA.
Also to be relevant we need MQA to happen on mobile devices, might Tidal and new high-res capable phones be a part of this? I believe it's actually mandatory for anything succeding today.
