There is no HDMI input to the Zen DAC that I can see so not sure what you’re talking about here. You need to run a USB cable between the Node and the Zen DAC.
Is it worth it? DAC question
I have a simple second system consisting of a Sugden A21, a Bluesound Node and Tekton Lore speakers. I have a spare Ifi Zen DAC V2 that I used about a year ago when I used my MacBook. Is it worth it to try and connect the Ifi as an external DAC or is the Node better as is? If I did try it, how do I connect the Node to the Ifi?

You’re likely to get a meaningful upgrade with the iFi, but you’ll likely need a decent SPDIF digital cable to run from the Node to the DAC to be able to realize the advantages. If you can spring for something like this Acoustic Zen MC2 cable I think you’d be in for a real treat. Best of luck. |
