| Got Innuous, now a DAC I have been down that long upgrading the streaming road too. Like you I started with the Node 130, then added a Teddy Pardo LPS using USB to a Gustard X26 PRO. Then moved on to a Innuos Zenith mk3 still using the USB connection. Then got a DDC to ... | |

| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? The journey involved building the house of stereo first and foremost. Then spent five years figuring it out. Otherwise it was easy lol.Ā | |
