re: Best way to download FLAC/MQA files?

Here's what I would do...
Get a Meridian Explorer2 DAC for $299 and a USB-to-RCA cable for $10.
Run this DAC through a regular line level input...this will give you decoding for MQA, 32/192, 24/96, 24/192, DSD, DXD, and just about every format that's out there now.
Where to buy hi-Rez music?...try HD Tracks, and AcousticSounds...they will have all of the formats.
Tidal streaming has like 30,000 available in MQA, but you have to stream through a computer for now (you can't use a streamer only player just yet)--but this will probably change soon. This isn't really a big deal if you have a laptop and can just plug it into your DAC.
Hope this helps.

Gracias!
Currently I have a Heos feeding my AC200. Also have FLAC's on a USB which I plug into the Heos. It's the sonos connect type thing. I have Tidal streaming Hi Fi. Is this the same you are talking about?
Also I had the same thoughts regarding the mobile DAC. My buddy sells meridian and gives me his cost on the products.
Big question for me is, the difference between flac and MQA Is file size right?
