Cable info

The guy asked about cables.

Not to get too far off topic, has anyone heard the Bluesound Node 2i? From what I hear they are suppose to be substantially better sounding than the Node 2. Still interested in cable suggestions comparable to Transparent Audio Ultra mm2. Those would be my next jump because they are in my price range in the preowned market.

@luvrockin The sound should be identical.  No change in the DAC, only more connectivity options.

I use the Acoustic BBQ(16g Dueland wire) IC's made and sold by grannyring on this site with my Node 2.  Very pleased.

I would echo the suggestion of spending your money on a better external DAC than the one in the Node 2. 

I can't see the logic in spending a lot of money to replace the already good interconnects you have to try to improve the sound quality of a DAC included in a $500 piece of gear. 

Take what I said with a grain of salt as I don't know how good the sound quality of the RCA outputs is, I connected my Node 2 to my Auralic Vega immediately.  I'm very pleased with the sound quality in this configuration, but the Vega doesn't do MQA.  I am skeptical that MQA directly from the Node 2 would be better than what is coming out of the Vega.
