So basically, I am better off downloading MQA and playing them back via the Walkman app than paying for a MQA streaming subscription (if audio quality is my top priority).
So long as you do it legally, I say yes for the ZX507. With the Hiby R3 Pro the stream sounds identical to the offline file. If your purely into Audio Quality then technically a 24/192 FLAC (lossless) is better than its smaller MQA equivalent (a bit lossy). Some say the MQA could still be better as it deals with noise and some other improvements (timing/harmonics?).
For me the ZX507 is still letting Android OS handle the audio for apps other than Sony's own Walkman App and Android OS doesn't do job as good, be it 16/44 or 32/192 scaling.
