    Hello Oz,

    With the rendering stages of MQA unfolding being handled by the internal DAC on the Node 2i, this is a hardware limitation that bypassing the internal DAC of the Node 2i will only provide up to 24-bit/96KHz audio.

    With this being a hardware limitation, it does not seem likely that we will be able to work around this through a firmware update.

    Since Qobuz provides its 24-bit/192KHz content in FLAC instead of MQA, it is not restricted by this limitation and will provide full 24/192 through the digital outputs on the Node 2i.

    Regards,
    Wesley P.

    Hi,  i play my node 2i via coax of optical output to my matrix audio mini 2s pro. Even with Qobuz 192KHz content,  my dac provide to 96KHz. Why? Thanks a lot

    Hello Fabio, 

    In the few times I've seen this happen, it has been because Qobuz was set to 96khz. Under Music Services > Qobuz, ensure you select the HD+ option:
