Best way to connect my Gustard R26?


I want to add the Gustard R26 to my system which consists of: Dynaudio 34s, REL T/7x, Hegel 190, Node 2i, and an NAD C546BEE. I'm new to digital and computer audio as well as streaming. Recently, I started using Tunein and Radio Paradise on the Bluesound app and I also began ripping approx. 500 cds to FLAC files on a Synology NAS. I expect most of my listening will be streaming through the Node 2i and the FLAC files from the NAS if I ever finish ripping the cds. I did some reading on how to connect a DAC like the R26 and discovered that it's kind of complicated and confusing. How do I connect the R26 so it becomes the main DAC? How do I bypass the Node and Hegel DACs?  I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks Bill

Curious if anyone is using the JPLAY app with their Gustard R26 and it’s LAN connection?

I love the apps UI, but have been having weird issues with it cutting out or just stopping with my Ifi Zen streamer.

im considering either an Innuos Pulse mini with the built-in Sense app or … I’d love to try the Guatard R26 if I knew the JPLAY app was stable with it
