I just sold my Matrix Audio Element M streamer, it sounds greats but I have constantly experienced small issues with the iOS app and was a little pissed off that MA doesn’t want to support Tidal Connect on their last generation devices. I have no interest to buy M2 as i can’t justify the huge price jump.
I’m looking for a streamer with good DAC, LCR balanced output (to connect to my power amp), and support for hi-res Tidal Connect and Airplay2.
Price around 1k-2k dollars. Any suggestion?

Thanks I considered this before I bought MA, back then not support MQA is a shortcoming, now Tidal moves to FLAC and it’s a solid choice again. The only issue is the colour, I wish it was in silver - or black

Lunar gray isn't exactly silver but it's close, I think. In Europe Cambridge Audio offer Black Edition, CXN v2 including. I just checked on Google and it's available in the US, too (I suppose you are there).

As to MQA, it's not relevant anymore indeed.
