2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node?


Hello All,

I'm looking to start getting into seperates for DAC / Streamer / Server, currently just using the Node as a DAC/Streamer

What components might I be looking at within my budget?  I was thinking Bluesound Vault and a Chord Mojo 2

thanks in advance

If you only want to listen to Tidal/Amazon, and you already have a Node, buying the Vault doesnt make sense.  The Vault does 3 things: 1) Rips and stores CDs  2) acts as a streamer for services such as Tidal/Amazon, Internet Radio, or the aforementioned ripped CDs  3) is a DAC.

 

   The Node does 2 and 3.

 

   In your case I would blow the budget on an external DAC to best the DAC in the Node.  If you later become dissatisfied with the Node as a streamer you can upgrade it, but presumably you must be happy with it since you are considering getting a Vault
