Hi everyone. Is it possible to use node2i as master to turn on and off benchmark dac2/3 + ahb2 pre+power set via 12v trigger port. Idea is to get all components powered when node2i awakes from standby state either via airplay, bluetooth, spotify connect, tidal connect or by its own remote control or mobile application. For sure all components shall power off than when I put node2i back to standby mode. If someone can confirm that, I guess my only problem will remain as volume control as node2i will not be able to control volume knob of dac2 or 3 and unfortunately my dac2 always turns on at volume level 0, I don’t know why.
Node 2i use with external DAC
I recently purchased a Node 2i that I use as a streamer and DAC that is plugged into a Schiit Freya + Preamp powered by two Vidar amps. Wondering if it would be worth buying one of Schiit's higher end DAC's or is the DAC inside the Node 2i sufficient enough where there won't be a noticeable difference?
