IMHO one of the biggest letdowns on the Bluesound products, (node, vault etc) are their built in DAC,s. They are mediocre at best, I forgoe the full MQA effect and much prefer the SQ going spdif into my Lyngdorf.
Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital: MQA HW decoding at reasonable cost -Anyone have this?
I am throwing my system thru the paces of some reasonable upgrades and found some intriguing reviews on this DAC.

This looks like a great entry to test MQA and have ability to use 7 different filters to salt and pepper digital stream to taste. Only have an older DACs Marantz (NA7004) Schitt (Modi) and older Emotiva AV processors (LMC-1 , UMC-1). All non MQA or latest chips.
Anyone think this is worth the plunge for the money?
