I'm not sure on this point to be honest - not if you have an MQA dac. I have a Meridian Explorer connected via EDO, which doesn't require any software decoding of the MQA material. The passthrough option in the Tidal app switches off software decoding, i can do this with a laptop - Explorer2 setup, works well. The question for LMS and the Squeezebox chain is how to access this undecoded stream via the Tidal app and pass it on bit perfect to the player - edo out - explorer (or other mqa dac), for full decoding. Granted a software solution in LMS would be welcome but that is not the only restriction for those of us with appropriate DAC's. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LeeRankin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104878 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
