The whole point of what I'm saying is for streaming. I (we all) know how happy you are with your thousands of CDs, etc. But you don't have to repurchase them. (Nor should you). and I'm happy that you're happy. I'm not rying to convince you that what I want to do is better.
In my case, I just want to stream CD quality or HI REZ on a slow internet connection. MQA is the only way to do that. Not everything is available in MQA, but I want to check it out. Streaming costs me $20 a month for a nearly unlimited music library, some of it MQA, some not. I don't know why you're so dead set against me doing what I want, but whatever.

Dave, I forgot to mentioned that Stereophile rated the Mytec Brookyn A, but the Bryston BDA3 A+. This should mean something, MQA or not.

I have not gotten my April Stereophile yet. Do you get the printed, or the digital edition? I'm really looking forward to Kal's review. I may not keep the headphones I've ordered, in which case I won't need the Mytek, and save myself a bunch of cash, on both. I'm getting all new speakers and subs. I really prefer listening to speakers, even with good headphones, but I usually have to turn them down very low because of my wife.

I am now comparing the Mytec Brooklyn + with the Benchmark DAC3 HGC. It is still early days, so I haven't yet formed an opinion, but they are very close sonically. I too have limited Internet bandwidth so MQA is of great interest to me. It sounds excellent fully decoded through the Brooklyn.

I've already ordered the Mytek, but i don't have to keep it. I hope my April issue arrives today. Thinking of putting that whole decision off until I decide on new speakers.

What speakers are you considering? And on the Mytec, maybe it is trying to do too much; too much like a swiss army knife, D/A converter, headphone pre-amp and MQA. I don't know.
