I recently purchased the SU-1 and use in conjuction with a Bluesound Node connected by USB. I have TIDAL source and no issues streaming, but I am a bit confused by the MQA lights. GREEN: streaming or files in MQA format. BLUE: Playing in MQA studio file. MAGENTA: Delivering final unfold of MQA...

I purchased one with Revel performa3 f208's and a bluesound node. I enjoy the setup and the Marantz 30 is a great combination with Revel speakers. I don't find the plastic detracts from appearance or performance and would purchase again. As it should be, I made my decision on what my ears liked...
