Thank you @dinosore I adjusted those settings. I had reached out to Vinshine and got a reply with a link to a video they have on the DENAFRIPS/Node combo. Very helpful!
@williewonka Thank you, I had already ordered the Wireworld Stratus Mini power cable for the Node and already have Transparent Super Blanced from the DAC to my processor and Transparent Premium Coax. Also have a Shunyata Delta PC on the DAC. I am going to order a DH Labs Mirage USB cable as well…definitely a believer in the benefit of good cables!
Appreciate everyone’s replies! Merry Christmas!
