    I know that the desk top app from tidal is tidal’s only way to stream its masters, but from what I’ve read and seen the Bluesound’s Own app will allow you choose and stream tidal masters straight to the node 2. As in attached screen shot of bluesounds app.

    Have a look at this. It will explain about MQA Decoding. It’s not as straightforward as you would think.

    You really do need a DAC/ Device with a MQA Hardware Decoder. Otherwise you don’t hear the file the way it supposed to be.

    (Sorry, it not a direct link) couldn’t work how to to that.

    I’m using the Mytek Brooklyn DAC Which does have an MQA Hardware Decoder.

    Thanks Peter, the Bluesound node2 does have a mqa dac capable of decoding/unfolding mqa files.

    Its not true that you need Tidals desktop app to stream MQA masters.
    You can, with the right dac or streamer.
