Can this do dsd tracks or mqa? I use a raspbery pi to stream dsd from my server, and mqa when a friend comes over... lol I don't have tidal. A version of this that would have DSD capabilities and MQA would make my world. Seems like this one just does PCM...?

zep483I don't think the BOSS DAC can do MQA. The DAC is based on the Ti PCM5122 DAC chip, whose datasheet you can download here: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcm5122.pdf
I use Moode Audio which does DSD-to-PCM conversion, if you need that. But I don't think the PCM5122 can play DSD files natively. I might be wrong about that, though.

zep483I did some research on this a few months ago: no native dsd.
I ended up going with the Mamboberry HD+ (which does have native DSD) and I'm very satisfied.

ElijahTheProfitLooks like Mamboberry HD+ is only available in Europe, or rather, internationally shipped. I'm in the US :(

zep483So am I; ships from Greece. I found it to be worth the shipping price. (I think it was a $15 adder.)
Not sure where your looking but I bought directly off the Collybia website.

ElijahTheProfitI'm not sure either haha, I'll consider the shipping price, good to know they ship to the US.
Well actually, I know I'm looking for something that isolates itself from the raspberry pi, something that plays DSD (64 and 128 [and maybe MQA if possible]), and something that maybe I can upgrade the power supply for later when I can afford a linear power supply.
