MQA DAC with Coax Output

I’d like to fully unpack MQA with a DAC but also want coax out from said DAC. I use Tidal Masters streaming from Roon which is running on an Antipodes DSGT with coax out to a pair powered Dynaudio 200 XDs. The MQA DAC would need to have a USB or coax in (the two digital outputs from the Antipodes) and and coax out to the Dynaudios. I don’t want a super expensive DAC but certainly one to do the system justice. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much for the info. Would anyone have a suggestion then on a good MQA capable DAC that would pair well between the Antipodes and Dynaudio powered speakers?

Now you’re on the right track. Next thing we need from you is a budget.

Good question. I guess I’d probably go up to $5k or so for great sound. Less would be better obviously.

You’ll have plenty to choose from with that budget. Be prepared to get some pushback from members regarding MQA, as it’s not universally accepted as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. Plus, you eliminate a lot of excellent DACs if MQA is a prerequisite.
