Looking for a recommendation, about a dac the works with MQA. Dac only no amp as this could be pared with my Violectric amp and 800s headph9nes.

Whats your reasoning for wanting MQA? Results are limited, but two would be the Mytek Liberty and the Mytek Brooklyn Dac+

Maybe take a look at the Matrix Audio X Sabre Pro

To me the MQA sound better when streaming Tidal. Do you have other ideas, for excellent quality music?

Lossless rips.

Lossless rips.

As in ripping cds to flac files. If so, I prefer streaming. ( unlimited library)

Well I cant be one to tell you it doesnt sound better to your own ears. I have used every streaming platform. I recently switched from Qobuz back to Tidal due to some crappy customer service. I personally dont notice a difference with MQA recordings. If thats what you want for 100% and youre set, the Mytek stuff and Matrix MQA gear is your best bet for performance. If you arent set on MQA, theres a ton of things i could reccomend gear wise.

As for streaming, Tidal is my perosnal choice right now ran through Roon.

I use a audioquest dragonfly cobalt... can use it on my PC and works as a portable. Strong enough to drive my HD800S.

I have a Brooklyn DAC+ coming this week. I'll post some comments when I can but I'm buried in work (%^&*) for a few weeks.

Topping are bringing out a D90 with MQA support soon. Worth looking in to.

Relative to Gustard A22, I just ordered the D90 MQA version at http://www.smsl-topping.com/topping-d90-ak4499-dac-p2434920.html, I have bought Topping D50s from them before, I like them

Many recordings in tidal are in mqa and no n mqa. With a dragonfly red. Senn 800s The mqa are better.
