Node 2i Coax Out


So... I bought a node 2i for its Roon streamer capabilities. I want to use it with my external DAC (schiit Gungnir Multibit). As I’m researching I’m reading some disappointing stuff... 
can the node 2i really only output 24/96 over coax?!!!
 Should I return this?
Why wouldn’t it just pass whatever data was sent to it if it’s bypassing the DAC? 

Please advise!

Andrew and allane, Where did you guys read that the Bluesound Node 2/2i coaxial (SPDIF) output has a max resolution of 24/96? Not true. At least not with my setup. I play 24/192 files through the SPDIF output and my DAC recognized it as a 24/192 file.

Perhaps you’ve confused coaxial SPDIF with the Toslink optical output?
