Wait…you have a Best Buy in Duluth? Shocker. FYI, no Best Buys have “listening” setups, just walls full of equipment to sell. BTW, the Gustard R26 is $250 off right now on Amazon. If it doesn’t blow you away just return it. FWIW.
How To Connect a DAC?
I have a NODE 3. The two RCA Analog Out connectors go to my R and L powered/active speakers. The Analog Sub Out RCA has a splitter, with each side going to a powered/active sub. This is a mono signal and connects to the R side of each sub.
I’m looking to buy a separate DAC. Most have XLR R and L Analog Outs, and RCA R and L Analog Outs. I’m wondering how I would connect my speakers and subs. My best guess is using 2 RCA splitters, I would connect one splitter to the R Analog Out to the R speaker and Sub 1 RCA R input. The other splitter would connect the L Analog Out to the L speaker and Sub 2 L input.
Any thoughts?

I’d be surprised if you didn’t hear an improvement with either the Pontus ll or Gustard (BTW you can read very good, in-depth reviews of both at soundnews.net to help make a decision). Another good option and a bit cheaper is the Musician Pegasus (that I currently own), which is very close in design and performance to the Pontus ll and also reviewed on the same site mentioned above. BTW, whatever DAC you choose, don’t skimp on the digital cable as it does make a big difference. Best of luck. |
@jasonbourne52 You’re patently out of your mind. What DAC and streamer are you using that supposedly can’t be improved upon? |
