Thanks everyone, also dammit I sorta want a lumin t3 now.
To answer some questions above I’m using coax from the node to the dac and balanced out of the dac. Additionally I had the dac first and the node replaced a laptop running Audirvāna usb to the dac. The difference was subtle but I could never get Audirvāna to maintain a connection to my apple devices so it went.
Help me pick a Dac
Budget 4000
I currently have the latest version of the Bluesound Node and a PS Audio Stellar Gaincell Dac for the digital Frontend. I stream qobuz and flac from a networked drive.
The rest of system is a Backert Lab Rhumba 1.3 , Schiit aiger monos and Zu soul 6 speakers. Also have a Nottingham horizon turntable, Hana cart and Lehman Cube phono pre. I think the modest tt sounds more natural and holographic compared to my digital frontend so I think I can do better.
Also I’m pretty isolated as far as audio goes so I’ve only heard my own system and likely will have buy without an audition.
