My NODE has a USB out and I have always used it connected to my Gustard X26 PRO, now in my second system. Posters are thinking of older models which did not have it. Use it, that way the dac's clock will be used instead of the Node's which will be disabled. All other connections use the Node's, which is inferior.
Connection options from Node to Denafrips Iris to Pontus
What cables do you recommend to connect from a Node to a Denafrips Iris to a Denafrips Pontus? I'll be using XLR's from the Pontus to my preamp.
