In reply to Zoltan.

Thanks for your message, Zoltan. I made the MQA support very clear. You have all the information to read between the lines and form your own opinion.

I added this note to my review:

UPDATE: It was brought to my attention following this review that the Hilidac Atom Pro is the cheapest dongle with MQA functionality. When you look at it from this angle, you may find it a good deal. I personally do not subscribe to Tidal.

Hello Jürgen,
thanks for the review, but I think You missed the point. I believe, that the main reason why anyone choses this device is the MQA support. Probably this is the cheapest full MQA unfold solutIon on the market. For this price You might find several headphone amps with bigger power and similar – even better – sound, but non can handle MQA. Testing it without trying MQA seems senseless for me – especially because Tidal has a free trial period, so no big deal to take a try. I am sorry that this review was made like this. Maybe next time. I keep on searching for relevant reviews about this product. Thanks again anyhow.
