I have a Node 2i and I wonder if you can really hear a distinct difference in higher cost streamers. When I first purchased my BlueSound, they sold me a ProJect DAC. I found the DAC made it sound thinner. So I disconnected the ProJect and the sound was better. I now have my BlueSound connected to my ARCAM AVR 550 with a high-end digital cable. The person I purchased the digital cable said by connecting using digital, I would be using a better DAC inside my ARCAM. By doing so, I lost MQA. Did I make the wrong decision by connecting using a digital cable and giving up MQA?
Quick USB question
I currently have a Node (2021) streamer and it has only one USB port. Does someone make a decent “Y” adapter? I currently have a 4TB hard drive in it and would like to try using the USB as an output to my DAC.
I’m not sure if it will work. Anyway, with one thing going in and the other going out, not at the same time of course.
Thanks in advance.
