If you have an Aurender, you owe to yourself to have a good DAC. The DAC in the Node is below average in a Node 2 or 2i, and a little better in the Node 130.
Can a Bluesound Node's Streamer Be Bypassed and be used as an External Dac?
Can I bypass the streamer on the Bluesound Node and use it as an external DAC?
I just bought a Aurrender N200 streamer. It's current paired with an older external DAC. I can barely listen to my system now because of ear fatigue! The higher frequencies are shrill! Previously, I used the Bluesound Node and enjoyed it and could listen and moderate volume levels for hours.
I want to confirm that it's the older DAC is the problem. Can I bypass the streamer on the Bluesound Node and use it as an external DAC?
Thanks!
