| My Node 2i has become a rather expensive remote. @poseidon1500 thanks, but don’t feel sorry for me ;) I’m listening to Laura Marling on my system right now and she sounds amazing! while I would love even better SQ, I learned long ago to be happy with what I got. It pretty damn good😎 happy... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Not sure this will help… but I recently tried to improve my streaming SQ because I was disappointed that my iPad via camera adapter (usb) sounded better than coax from my node 2i to my “new” Gustard x26 pro DAC. I thought at the time that the reas... | |
| My Node 2i has become a rather expensive remote. @poseidon1500 Unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not tech savvy, but I couldn’t get mine to work properly. After several attempts and reboots I was able to get BT and Airplay to work( tidal only, never g... | |
| My Node 2i has become a rather expensive remote. @poseidon1500 and @fuzztone thank you for your input and recommendation. I looked a little deeper into the “stream” and placed on order and I’ll report back. If I’m really happy with it I may try the Matrix 2 for i2s and see if I can squeez... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise The discovery of the gain/ feedback switch on the amp would peak my curiousity. I would be compelled to tried hooking the Gallo’s back up and playing with the gain switch… but that’s just me. If your so inclined please share. congrats on you purc... | |
| My Node 2i has become a rather expensive remote. @fuzztone yup, you got it. Sorry for the poor explanation. I'll look into the iFi Zen into matrix 2. @carlsbad thx. I ruled out room before. But probably should reconsider. | |
| My Node 2i has become a rather expensive remote. I equating the Node to an expensive remote because I only use it when I'm too lazy to get up and change the music on the iPad since it is tethered to the DAC via USB cable, sacrificing quality for convenience. I guess more simply put, I'm lookin... | |

| All Benchmark System Question @yyzsantabarbara I wish I could keep both but $3400 invested in Dacs is a little too steep for my blood.The $1200 I referred to what I was offered for my used Benchmark Dac3L, which I paid $1999 w/remote 2yrs ago (I have all the original boxes and... | |
| All Benchmark System Question @yyzsantabarbara Again thanks for your input. I think maybe the topping pre90se for Xmas gift to myself may be in my future regardless of which dac I keep :) I confess I'm still struggling with which Dac to keep though. Like your impression when ... | |
| All Benchmark System Question @yyzsantabarbara I appreciate the you updating this thread with your latest comparison. This whole thread has really got me thinking about improving my system. I actually purchased the X26pro (got a week left on trail) and find most of it qualitie... | |
| Digital audio connection..... Rookie misunderstanding. Hoping for work around. OK, I think I got it. I can connect the FireTV to the Avidio. Then the Avidio hdmi out to Denon and Optical out to Gustard. (see link below)https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=asc_df_B00XJI...I ca... | |
| Digital audio connection..... Rookie misunderstanding. Hoping for work around. @fuzztone. Thanks...I Hadn't thought about sending the signal to the DAC prior to reaching AVR...! That could prove to be helpful.Unfortunately this solution still leaves me with just only one compatibly available DAC input (coax) for both CD and... | |
| All Benchmark System Question @yyzsantabarbara this is really promising info on the Gustard in conjunction with the Benchmark! If the Gustard can maintain it's SQ via RCA to the DAC 3L connected to the AHB2's via XLR....! Well that's just best case scenario for me! I'll be abl... | |
| All Benchmark System Question @regg I'd really love to hear you thoughts on the Gustard too. I've been looking into it as well and what's holding me back is that I would have to either use 1) RCA to my DAC 3L ( I use as a pre direct to AHB2) which seems like a waist when its a... |
