Between those two options, Hint 6 DAC would be a lot better, Bluesound Node 2 is a very cheaply made product and going through default RCA just degrades the sound even further. Much better to transport digital signal over a quality cable into the Hint 6 DAC. If you don't want to spend money on a decent cable, use optical.
Which DAC is better?
I am using a new Bluesound Node 2 connected with the default RCA cables into my Parasound Hint 6.
This uses the Nodes DAC and not the Hint 6s DAC. If i understand correctly, I can connect the Node using an optical/usb cable into the Hint 6 thereby using the Hints DAC and not the Nodes.
Which is the better option?
I am aware i can buy some cables and test this out for myself.
I was just curious if anyone else had an opinion.
