Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options?
@soix Hi Soix, were you able to try out the Iris with your Pegasus yet?       
Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options?
@soix thanks for the info, much appreciated. I would definitely be interested in your findings with the Iris/Pegasus pairing, as the Pegasus a sure contender 👍  
Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options?
Thanks guys; some food for thought there.  @soix thanks for that. I haven't paid much attention to DDCs and the I2S cables. What are the advantages of these?

My taste is toward neutral.

@mijostyn it drives you nuts, but you still felt compelled to click on the clearly marked thread. Now there's a psychological conundrum 👍  
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@curiousjim ah I see 😕 you can buy the boards separately.   
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@curiousjim i bought this board and PSU bundle from PD Creative : https://pd-cf.com/produkt/bluesound-node-2021-gen-3-upgrade-super-low-noise-kit/    
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@jetter I made the upgrade back in March, I think it was. Definitely a good few months ago at any rate, so I feel it is fully settled in now. The cost plus import costs/VAT for the board and PSU was a little over £200 - definitely worth the outla... 
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@jetter ​​​​​​ Hi, I'm in the UK, so bought directly from Poland. As for installation, it is very easy, and full instructions and pictures are included. The most difficult part was putting the damn Node back together 🙄😊. But that may be down to... 
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
Hi,  Just an update. I never did buy the Teddy Pardo upgrade and LPS; I found it hard to pull the trigger due to the upgrade and LPS costing nearly as much as the Node.  In the end I went with the PD Creative option with the Low Noise PS.  It w... 
NRG The 5 Power Cable
I received my. 1CS power cord yesterday. Great packaging; Nawaz uses soft,  pouch-like spectacle cases to protect the IEC and wall plugs with the NRG Custom Cables logo on (nice touch👍) Didn't have much time yesterday (or the rest of the week)  t... 
New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming?
Just a heads up on the Node's USB output when using the Node as a Roon Endpoint - there are still issues with the implementation of this from Bluesound's side of things. On their Support/Community site,  they state the Firmware that opened the US... 
NRG The 5 Power Cable
Just an update on my previous post; I received confirmation this morning that my cable is ready and shipping ordered.  Just worth mentioning,  Nawaz, the owner of NRG Custom Cables is a great guy to deal with,  super friendly and helpful and will... 
Upgrading Bluesound Node power supply with PD Creative (Hans B. reviews on Youtube)
@hilde45 Hi, I've upgraded my Node N130 with the PD Creative kit and PSU; it's been about 5 months since I made the upgrade, but yes, even using the digital outs from the Node, the SQ was/is still improved. I guess removing the SMPS PCB from the N... 
Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC?
My experience of the Node N130 mirrors that of @daveinpa when combined with the Ares II. But very much a case of "ymmv", and very subjective. I sold my Ares II and later upgraded the Node with a power supply upgrade kit and external PSU - which m...
