RE: 2 weeks of MQA thoughts

Yes
Meridian Explorer2 MQA dac and Audio-GD Master 7 nos R2R dac Remember the Meridian costs $299 while the Master 7 is $2450. Playing non MQA files clearly demonstrates the superiority of the Master 7
Streaming MQA files from Tidal through both dacs does not change anything
The Master 7 retains its much better sound over the Meridian. You have to remember that Tidals software is doing partial MQA decoding. The Tidal software decodes material up to 96khz while the Meridian decodes material over 96khz which is mainly noise. So most of the improvement of MQA is going to both dacs. I think the additional decoding of the Meridian would be very small if audible at all. I do want to state that the Meridian Explorer2 is an excellent sound dac and well worth the money if you want to experience full MQA decoding
