Walk me thru upgrading from my BS Node
To the OP: Lots of info in yesterday's discussion  "NODE as a streamer". It will save me endless repetition. Life is too short.  
NODE as just a streamer / Airplay device
Good move. The thing I find with my setup is the Pardo does get better after warming up each session. The longer it goes the better it seems. Also putting the Node on isolators really livens up the sound with even better clarity. I use some 1/4  t...

@12many  the main reason for using USB to a dac is if you want to use the dac's clock. All other connections will use the Node's clock. That is what I found out in my research about the subject. HUGE difference if you have a good dac.

This may interest some. Since I operate my streamer with my android phone as a remote, there are very few options for me. It automatically eliminates Auralic since they do not do Android. Lumin and Aurender both have huge issues with it, just look...

After all, that's why many sites have the poster's system listed below each of their posts and of course all reviewers post theirs too with each review. Without that info, I respectfully learn nothing.

NODE N130 with Pardo LPS powered with Shunyata venom 14 PC  to Gustard X26 PRO via DH Labs silver USB cable so it uses the superior Gustard clock instead of the Node. Blujeans ethernet cable from NODE to TP-Link extender. Bingo, life is good. Viny... 
Aurender N200
@ghdprentice  I hear you but I want to use my android phone and the aurender conductor app has a horrendous 2.9 * rating. I hear it works well with an iPad, but is a mess with android. That many bad reviews can't be all wrong.        .    
Aurender N200
Interesting that there are quite a number of Aurender listed for sale. What gives. Heard complaints about the app and connectivity. That is of huge importance to me. I would gladly rather give up a little in sound than having app/connectivity issu... 
Gustard R26
Soix, I would not be concerned. Me plugging the PSAudio into the Gustard did not hurt the dac whatsoever even so the connection sounded like a cat's tail stepped on.  
Gustard R26
Meaning both AQ and Wireworld hdmi are meant for video also and hurt nothing.  
Gustard R26
You guys need to relax. Plugging a standard hdmi cable into a Gustard is not gonna hurt.anything. It's not the cable that is different, it's the plugs at each end. The Gustard has a smaller number of connectivity than a regular hdmi because it doe...

For what it's worth, the I2s on the Jay's CD2 MK3 is a perfect match to the Gustard X26 PRO.

Going from Aries II to Gustards X26s is definitely a big step up. I know nothing about the holo but Sandu does and says it measures well.  Says Gustards are as good as the up to $3,500 range if I recall correctly.  
What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?
Never happened to me. Looks like 2017 was a great year for jasonborne!  
Gustard R26
The X26 PRO has been my dac since January and I am completely satisfied with its delta-sigma based chip. I never went up the chain with R2R but the Aries II did not do it for me. With the Gustard, set the filter to gentle and it will bring the sou...
