Hi!
I'm interested in this device, but I don't know if it is suitable for me. Excuse me if this has been asked before, but it's not clear for me:
- I have a 2.4GHz PLC WiFi extender with Ethernet port. Could I connect the extender to the Mini via Ethernet in order to receive MQA and non MQA streams from Tidal? This Ethernet extender is connected to my router/modem, of course. Keep in mind that I'm not a Roon-oriented user and I don't want to use my computer for streaming. I know that MQA streaming is not possible via WiFi, but I don't know if it is with Ethernet in this way (not directly connected to the router).
- Can the Mini play non-MQA streams via WiFi? I mean not only Tidal streams, but also Hi-Res FLAC files at 96kHz sample rate or higher. I would like not to use the BT connection of my Android phone, because LDAC cannot stream content with sample rate higher than 96kHz.
- I have read that the Mini is not DLNA enabled, so is there any way to read my library stored on a portable hard drive with the BubbleUPnP app? I would use my Nvidia Shield TV as musical server (the hard drive would be connected to my Shield) with the BubbleUPnP server app running. I know that the Matrix Element I can do this because is DLNA enabled, but the Element I cannot decode MQA.
Thanks for any input.
