where shall MQA be located

[blanc]

I just have a question related to the combination Digital Audio Player + DAC. Shall only one of both be MQA capable or must both be so? If only one MQA capable device is OK which one would you recommend, DAP or DAC?

DAP combines in one single device the functions of streamer, DAC and headphone amplifier/pre amplifier. Why do you want to use together a DAP and an external DAC?. This is also MQA related?.

Personally, I would buy a DAP if I need one, that is also a full decoder of MQA, like the FiiO M11s, for instance.
