I just decided to go for a splurge of an upgrade as I haven't done much for years with my setup. I've been using PEACE on the PC but my understanding is that with the new setup if I'm to do hardware MQA decoding on the DAC that means the signal has to go untouched to the DAC correct? That means no PEACE EQ. What's the optoins out there? The only one I could find were the Schitt ones and I'm not really digging them. Anything else out there to EQ the headphones between the DAC and the AMP?

Headphone: Hifiman Arya
DAC: Going from a D30 to a D90SE
AMP: Going from Schitt Heresey to Topping A90D

Why even do the decoding on the DAC, just keep using PEACE?

I would use exclusive mode and have tidal send mqa directly to DAC for decoding. Pretty sure peace can't alter a file before it gets processed by DAC.

Anyways I succumbed and bought the Locius
