RE: Best way to set up Tidal & Dragonfly Black on a Mac?

I did read somewhere just now that Tidal uses 48 for all MQA files, and unfolds to 96 in software, but not sure if that applies to the CD quality. There is so much confusion on all of this. If this is to go mainstream they are going to have to make this a lot easier. You would think that Tidal would have a quick "best settings" guide on all this. Mac or PC, external DAC vs. Internal, MQA vs. non-MQA external DAC. There aren't that many combinations. At least get the basics right. Same would go for iOS and Android, but there are even fewer options there, and it isn't ready for portables yet anyway.

And did we need to compress the streams in the first place? I can stream 4k and 5k video to my iMac without any problem. There is plenty of bandwidth.
