| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Like most others have stated, yes it can make a very big difference. I went with the Denefrips Ares II and the difference was night and day. Much wider and deeper soundstage Also, if you haven’t yet, upgrade the interconnects and power cord for yo... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I’ve primarily been an analogue guy, but I recently got a Denefrips Ares 2 so I can bypass the DAC on my Bluesound Node 2. I think I’ve listened to maybe two records in the two months I’ve had my Denefrips. It sounds amazing streaming Hi Res or MQ... | |

| Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i I have a Pangea c7 for my node. Perhaps slightly blacker backgrounds with it, nothing too drastic. I do like the build quality and flexibility of it. Looks cool, too. Worth the $35 I think. |
