Node2i does a good job the app interface is easy to use but if you bypass the internal dac you will have to have an external dac that supports MQA. I am going to be selling mine soon and getting the NAD C658 which I imagine sounds very similar with same bluOS app but I want to try the dirac room correction.
Upgrade from Cambridge CXN
This is probably the 1000th query like this, but here is my situation:
I have a Cambridge CXN streamer / DAC. I am not totally unhappy with it sonically, but am not enamored of the software. I use it for TIDAL. The unit does not support MQA and Cambridge indicates there will never be a firmware upgrade to do so. I have not experienced MQA so I don't know if this is a big deal or not.
What say you all? Can I get anything decent at my budget?
I don't mind buying used.
Thanks in advance. I always enjoy these discussions (including the trolls lol )
