Connect

• The PULSE FLEX 2i or NAD products using the BluOS MDC/upgrade kit are not Bluetooth transmitters and cannot output to Bluetooth Headphones.
• When listening to MQA content with the Bluetooth headphones paired, the BluOS app will display an HR (High Resolution) icon instead of an MQA icon. This is because the MQA processor cannot determine the MQA capabilities of Bluetooth headphones. The content will be decoded based on the capabilities of the paired headphone.
