Node 2i performance suggestions pls

I ordered the Supra CAT8 last week waiting for delivery.

@lowrider57  Thanks for the insight, sounds like a plan.  Do you mind sharing which PC you found to work well?  

I purchased the better of the two available Pangea power cords that fit the Node 2i and in my system it did not improve the sound at all, if fact perhaps the opposite.  Sent it back to Audio Advisor for a courteous refund.

I had a great cable going from my Node 2i to my older modded Meitner DAC, but in the end I am satisfied just using the DAC in the 2i.  

I really love this little streamer, it doesn't owe me a thing. This is a bit embarrassing, but the first internet radio station I tuned into was called "radio 10, 60's & 70's hits".  I haven't had any desire whatsoever to change the channel.  The sound quality is just fine for me for listening hours on end.  So many tunes that I love as if I were programming the channel.

@lowrider57  Thanks for the information.  Now that you have further explained it I see that C7 is the power cord type.  I mistakenly thought that in your first post you were saying to get an aftermarket power cord and then going on to say get a CAT 7 ethernet cable and were further abbreviating CAT to be just C.  My bad.
