I don't know if you can do your own DAC
Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound
Bluesound Node 1 has been great with streaming Tidal. I’ve upgraded my system and believe that I can likely do better with the sound quality. This is especially given that Tidal is adding more and more hi def music.
I’m thinking the Bluesound Node 2 as the natural upgrade. I would like to know if there are other options to get the best sound. I can’t spend more than $500 on the equipment.

How does the Sonica DAC fit in with the Node 2 and Aries Mini? https://www.oppodigital.com/sonica-dac/sonica-dac-Overview.aspx Is it Roon ready? |
Good question amritash and one I answered for myself a while back. I replaced my Mac mini with a Bluesound Node 2 and have been much happier without the endless round of updates served by Apple/Amarra/Audirvana/etc. The sound quality of the Node 2 is at least on par with my Mac. The DAC in the Node 2 is pretty good and if/when you want to upgrade, you can purchase an outboard DAC as funds allow. I think the Node 2 is hard to beat at its price point. |
