I just got the Bluesound Node 2i and it can only output digital via Coax/TOSLink. Most MQA compatible DAC's are only able to do the three MQA unfolds through the USB input and just completely skip that functionality over Coax.
Are there any DAC's that are able to unfold MQA all three times over coax? Seems like the Gustard X16 is able to, but are there any other options out there?
I don't think it's too rare of an option, since the Node 2i even has a dedicated MQA bitperfect-over-coax option in the app.
Edit: Here's a rolling list of some I've found:

- Gustard X16 ($500)
