| Moving up from a Node 2i @jetter There's nothing wrong with your system your Museatex-Meitner Dac is just better than what's in the Node. Same with my Auralic Aries Mini its internal Dac is just ok, outputting to an external Dac it sounds great. | |
| Looking to replace my Squeezebox Touch I am referring to the Aries or Aries Femto as it's sometimes called. Here is one..........https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649589033-auralic-aries-bridge/It's very hard to find a used Mini as Auralic discontinued them a few years back. And as f... | |
