Hi I am a newbie and have the Node 2i, and plan on buying the Flex speakers.

Before I purchase i would like to understand if the CD quality/ MQA decoding happens in the Node 2i prior to being aired to the wireless speaker?

And do they talk over WiFi?

Thanks

  Hi Glen

  It really depends on your speakers. If your Active Speakers support MQA, then yes, if they don't you will only get a single unfold up to 24/96 going digital. Connect via analogue and you will get a full MQA connection.

  If you are using a third-party wireless speaker, then you will connect via Bluetooth and not hear MQA. If you haven't bought your speakers yet, it may just be simpler to instead of buying a NODE, purchase two PULSE or PULSE MINI speakers to receive full MQA capability.

  Thanks Tony, is the DAC in the Node2i same as the PULSE speakers?

  Yes it is, but let your ears decide...
