How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS
I agree with Herman.  If you have a Node 2i, then you are limited to coax or optical.  No USB. I have always had better results with coax in most applications over optical.  My Node is no exception.  Per the review of the Node 2i by Audio Science ...
