Sorry to revive an old thread, but can anyone with a Node 2 tell me if it supports gapless playback? The Oppo Sonica's lack of gapless playback for file streaming is a deal killer for me. It just drives me bonkers when there is an audible gap.
Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC
I am very impressed with the Node 2. So far my use of the Node has been with it's built in DAC. It sounds great. Since I don't own an outboard DAC I have had no other choice but to use the Node's DAC. It is hard to fault it's DAC at any price much less the $500 price of the Node. That being said, I realize there are alternatives out there than can improve upon the built in DAC. I am at a point now where I am curious to hear what an external DAC may have to offer in terms of sound quality. For those of you who are running a Node through an external DAC, what would you recommend and what type of improvement have you experienced vs DAC in the Node.
