I’m using Tidal app on iPad, and iPhone, and wanted a portable DAC that supports MQA to use with headphones. This works great for that. The “niggles” are that it comes with hardwired USB-C and an Apple lightning adapter. Since I’m not using it with a laptop I would prefer that to be reversed — that is hardwired lightning with USB-C adapter. Anyways we can’t always have everything.
