I know the whole MQA discussion very quickly becomes almost religious.
But none-the-less, I was wondering if there was any way to hook up the BL90's to something like an Aurender, Bluesound or OPPO streamer with MQA support and get MQA quality sound streaming from Tidal?
Thanks!

Isn't MQA just a weird upsampling lossy codec? So then it doesn't matter so long as the streamer and BL90 support the digital bit rate and depth, for example 44/16 or 96/24. No different to low bit rate 128k MP3 playing back at 96k - no benefit because you can't 'add' lost information but it works.
s/pdif & AES/EBU are standards so long as both ends understand same rates.
If connecting digital to digital, then the BL90 DAC does the work and does not care about codec, that's what the streamer is for..

Simpel question: why listen to example MQA if one can listen to original 24bit 96kHz PCM?
Totally agree (and that was the reason for posting the Archimago links), but that was not the question of the op.
I simply tried to answer the question....in my the other thread.
MQA is momey making you pay for licences) and brings no advantage to the original format/PCM.
By the way - not everything labelled 24/96 is 24/96.

yup - thanks, I did read it. Also pasted here:
Would bluesound+BL90 be able to stream MQA?
The BL90’s accect source material in (L)PCM format and as analog.
You would have to have the Bluesound decoding the MQA stream first.
As for the 90’s see this theead also - especially page 4:
