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?

Think of MQA as sort of a quasi ZIP type file. It is compressed and then decompressed--sort of. The file size for MQA is its selling point.

Go to Stereophile magazine and search the archives for the last couple years--they have a fantastic article that totally explains how MQA works.
