It does I'm afraid. I had two of them - both the same.

Not a bad thing either.

The DX5 can be set as a DAC only indeed. Also, the MQA is a part of a DAC chip itself so again, yes. This should work for you.

Qobuz's version is MQA (352.8) as well. Sometimes roon not showing it but when you start streaming it will show you the full path. EDIT: See the new photo.

Yes, it's available. Qobuz and Tidal.

Qobuz's My Weekly Q and of course the most powerful one... roon's suggestions.

It's official. DX5 landed on my desk and it's phenomenal! No issues so far. Firmware upgrade without issues. I made one by one. First upgraded to 1.37 then after 2 minutes to 1.38. This DAC is SOOO revealing. I can hear every single, tiny detail in the music I listened a lot before - yes...

Hello I want to buy my first stack for up to £350 altogether. I am considering these: SMSL SU-6 + SMSL SH-6 SMSL DO100 + SMSL HO100 (more than my budget but still will do I guess...) Will appreciate your input with other brands at a similar price BUT I am probably (unless you can convince...
