I’m curious. The digital volume control on the Node is likely crap and drops bits when using its analog outs, but if you’re using it strictly in the digital domain going direct into something like the Gan1 does this become a non issue? If so this seems like it could be a really elegant and effective solution for a budget/compact system.
Streamer with variable digital output
In my setup, a Bluesound node feeds a Peachtree Gan1 digital amp/power dac. The Gan1 has no volume control and a digital input only. What other streamers have a variable digital output for compatibility with the Gan1?
BTW, I ask out of curiosity. The Node to Gan1 is a wonderful option for anyone looking for two small boxes and one interconnect for less than $2000.
