You can configure Tidal to passthrough MQA and the MQA DAC will do all of the decoding. That is one of the benefits of the MQA DACs.
I'm not sure how much money the next step up in the Meridian line is which can do the same, but the Explorer 2 was only $199 on Amazon if you want a taste. The Explorer 2 is not something to base the full blown MQA experience on however if you do have an itch for something better.
Overall the Meridian Explorer 2 sounds very good for what it is worth, I bought mine on amazon for $199.
In terms of the Brooklyn DAC I'm not aware of any other DAC that doesn't look like a toy besides a step up in the Meridian line. That one is called the Meridian Ultra DAC.
I read your other post about the Mytec, if you do get it let us know how it goes. There is a lack of MQA DACs right now.
