Just think if you had even a mid quality digital streamer or dac it would sound much better in every way for detail and soundstage clarity and tone.
the Node is a very good value for the money though for a entry level streamer.

Amazing sound to my Cornwall IV’s… I can’t believe how it matches the speakers, and I’ve had (2) CARY tube amps, many MARANTZ SS amps and receivers, a DYNACO ST-70… just covers all the bases for sound and does it smoothly and clearly with girth to mid bass whenever, loud or soft volume. I might cancel my DecWare order. Haha. The 102 DB seems to love the class D 80 WPC of this direct connection Amp/ DO ALL preamp. Love it!
