Hi, I've been using the Node 2i for a whole now and have just ordered the cambridge audio cxa81 as an amp upgrade. I was planning to connect the Node via optical or coax but I use tidal so I'm not sure if this is the best solution for mqa with this amp? Does anyone have this set up, I was just wondering what the best way to connect the Node to the amp would be?

  If you want to continue to listen to MQA tracks on Tidal at their highest bitrate then you will need to use the analogue outputs of the NODE.

  You may find that you prefer the sound of the DAC in the Cambridge audio cxa81 but his would mean only a partial unfold of the MQA information. I think MQA is supported in he EVO range by cambridge audio.

  Thanks very much, that's what I thought. I'll experiment and see what I prefer
