Hi
I have a setup with a Bluesound Node2, connected to a DDRC-24, connected with RCA to a Poweramp.
I know that the DAC in the DDRC-24 is not an MQA-DAC.
What connection between the Bluesound and DDRC-24 is recommended?
Using RCA and use Bluesounds MQA-DAC, or
Use Optical and stay digital as long as possible, but loose some sample rate in the process?
My guess is that as long as I play 16/44, the Optical saves some unwanted conversions and may sound better.
But what about when playing MQA, will optical still sound better?

I will do some tests and see if I can rear some deferens, but it should be nice to have some other input on this.

Thanks

Using optical would be the easiest indeed. Not sure why you'd want to use 16/44 though? Just play at the normal rate, the sample rate conversion will be fine.

Unfortunately the DDRC-24 won't accept MQA I'm afraid. It won't be able to process it.
