Da2 kills it
Which is better the DA2 in the Mcintosh MA12000 or Bluesound node?
I just replaced my Sonos port streamer with the newest Bluesound Node. Its connected using a Kimber Kable D60 into the Mcintosh MA12000’s DA2 Module.
The sound is sooooooo much better than with the Sonos...a totally different level. The D60 only has about 100 hours on it...so barely broken in! (I replaced the audioquest eagle eye..to be listed for sale on here soon) The System is starting to sound magical!
I guess I am now wondering which DAC is better? Do I leave the system as is...or do I use the DAC in the NODE and run RCA’s into the MA12000?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi @randymaqp . I guess I feel the same way. I want to believe the DA2 must sound better..well because its expensive. But we know that's not always the case...but in most cases is. Yes the Kimber Kable D60 is a winner. Everything that has been said about it is true. It needs another 100 hours of break in, but so far..amazing. Even before i got the Node, I started the break in using the Sonos Port because I was so excited about it....and it greatly improved the sound of the my System, maybe the biggest single improvement yet....I have Martin Logans ESL 13's and you hear the difference, much more detail and way more musical than the Audioquest. |
@raysmtb1 after checking out your system I believe you! Thanks. |
@deadhead1000 Thanks! Will do. |
