Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200m

[Philip]

just purchased200m to listen to MQA from a bluetooth device for headphone listening. Using Bluetooth no colored lights appear , indicating this service . When I play a Blusound streamer through the dac it shows blue or green. Using a MacBook Pro also . My understanding was this is a stand alone MQA transmitter . Am I wrong ?

Bluetooth is lossy (lower than CD quality) so you likely can’t transmit full MQA files through it.

Forget about MQA when using Bluetooth.

Why even bother getting an external DAC for Bluetooth? Just get a Sony BT headset and you can even spin around in your chair.

If you need wireless just stream wifi to a Pi.

Thank you for that

Thank you . Back to the old Dragonfly, I guess. I'm not familiar with the pi thing.
