Bluetooth and AirPlay requires resampling. but stream over WLAN/LAN by MA Remote app does not.Is SQ over bluetooth or airplay inferior to SQ over WLAN/LAN controlled by MA app?

Why not element M? It supports mqa and has internal linear power supplyThat’s a bummer. I was waiting for its release but as a non-Roon subscriber whose main source is Tidal and MQA, it’s a no go. Dont have ethernet hard wire so I am relying on wifi. Have Google Fiber which is excellent. Element i doesnt support MQA... might settle with Element i and software decoding of MQA.
No, the element i do nothing with MQA.@MatrixAudio
We have both element X and I tested here, would be nice to Send element M for test as well. I too would be interested in the sq diff between m and i.
Also a question: can element i perform 1st unfold of mqa?
Hi,Spotofy connect is possible.
I just purchased the Element i and have been in contact with Matrix as well as the dealer. Spotify connect is in the plan for the future (on all Element series units), as well as a dedicated streamer. As it is you can connect very easily with AirPlay.Hi,
will Spotify connect also be added to element series? In particular Element M, thanks

If we can integrate Spotify Connect to the new mini-i series, yes.Hi,

unfortunately no. AirPlay 2 need a dedicated chip from Apple, but there is no such chip in current element series models.Ok, thanks! Also wish they can upgrade to airplay2

Hopefully within this year. but I'm not sure.Do you have an ETA on when Spotify Connect will be available for the Element i? Our local dealer is giving me a good deal on these and being mostly a Tidal/Spotify user, still researching if I will pull the trigger on this streamer/dac.
Hopefully within this year. but I'm not sure.
What would be really fantastic is Chromecast Audio built-in. Then everyone could stream Tidal, Qobuz, etc using the native apps. Any plans for that?
Yes, Deezer is in our schedule, but we have not started to integrate Deezer yet.Thank you, are there also plans in integrating other streaming services like Deezer? I am starting to lose interest in MQA after learning more of it here in ASR, so the Element i will be perfect for my needs.
Update: Already placed my order, but chose to upgrade to the Element M.
For now, no.What would be really fantastic is Chromecast Audio built-in. Then everyone could stream Tidal, Qobuz, etc using the native apps. Any plans for that?

I’m now confused. Is Spotify coming to Element series? I’m asking element M but you replied mini-IIf we can integrate Spotify Connect to the new mini-i series, yes.
Let us know what’s your impression when you hear it!Thank you. My Element M is set to be delivered to my place this weekend. Can't wait!
