Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Ralph, couldn't he use a Jensen transformer to make he XLR to RCA change? Would it still offer the proper grounding?Bob 
McCormack is my grail!
I had my DNA-1's converted to monoblocks as well a pair of Micro line Amps.The Micro's are amazing, though I am having some issues with the new low impedance with the DNA-1's and my Vandy 2wq's. The impedance is so low I have to go to unbalanced c... 
Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection

Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?
+1 Jeenam.You can even get a used Node (1) for even less.The only benefit of the new Node 2i is that it can work on the wireless 5gh band. Nice if you have a crowded 2.5gh network.Bob 
How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i
+1 Mahler.I think MQA is just another gimmick to make us buy an unnecessary product. A well recorded high rez recording holds up against MQA.As others have said the Node DAC is good, but at least you can bypass it to a DAC of you own choice.I use ... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
