Can I run my wireless speakers through an external DAC?


I own Bluesound node 2i and I use to run two sets of wireless speakers in my house (PSB Alpha iQ and Bluesound Pulse Flex).  I am interested in upgrading my SQ and I have read that using a standalone DAC is a good way to improve the SQ from my current set up.  However, if I bypass the Node 2i DAC how will I be able to connect to my wireless speakers?

The wireless speakers are in a different room from the DAC (I probably should have noted that in my original post, and I still want the speakers to work as a wireless speaker).  The only way I thought this MIGHT work is if I take the analog output from the standalone DAC and plug them into back into the analog input to my streaming device.  But the Node 2i does not have an analog input, so I would need a new streamer as the Bluesound Icon comes with an analog input.  Just now sure if this would work.

 

 

not with the node.  Not sure you'll get much improvement with wireless, which is your limitation, anyway.

 

 

there is no way to improve what you have both speakers have built in dacs and streaming an external dac won't improve anything.

 

if you want to use your node you need active speakers without a dac atc, elac etc
