| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! I just bought one a few months ago and it sounds great! I’ve tried Optical, coax and usb. Usb sounds the best in my system. As far as set up, the only thing I changed was the volume is set so the node doesn’t control it, my amp does. And that’s it. | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? @coachpoconnor Great preamp! It’s on my list to replace an old ARC SP-9mkll. Question, did you get the phono section built in? If so, how does it sound? All the best. JD | |

| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @tjag and all, Is there any reason you can’t mix and match re-clockers with DACs? Let’s say I have a Denafrips Pontus ll DAC, is there any reason I wouldn’t be able to add a Phoenix DDC to it? Thanks in advance. JD | |
