| How to add depth for classical music @three_easy_payments I already have a REL T9 sub but I don't usually turn it on when listening to classical music. I always felt that sub adds great bass for my pop, rock and other music. But for classical music, I like to keep my sub off. But m... | |
| Stellar Gain Cell DAC , RME ADI-2 or other with Node 2i? Chord Qutest DAC (no preamp) goes well with Node2i | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) @lowrider57 i am using optical because my HIFi shop owner said optical is better for Chord | |
| Physically connect a Bluesond Node 2i to a downline, stand alone Chord Qutest DAC I also have the same setup with Node2i digital to Qutest which then connects via RCA analog cable to my Parasound P5 preamp.I found the Qutest outperforming Node2i's own DAC by a wide margin. | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) I have a different experience. When I plugged my new Chord Qutest DAC into my Node2i, I found that the SQ improved a lot. Bass is much better and cleaner. There is more rhythm to my music. Everything just comes alive. The rest of my system is no... | |

What do you all ... | |

And to make things worse, I have window with blinds to the left of the syst... | |
| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else Thanks for all the quick responses.My budget is $1800 and less.I can’t afford Chord Hugo, PS Audio and other higher priced products unless their used price drop.I have tried both:1) Node2i DAC: analog output to P52) P5 DAC: Node2i digital output t... | |
| Why buy Bluesound Node2i vs. Marantz AVR for playing music from NAS or streaming services? Basic power cable. Audioquest Carbon Optical from Node2i to Parasoundbtw for external DAC, which is a better fit for my system - Qutest, Yggy, Benchmark DAC3, Ayre Codex? I listen to all kinds of music incl classical, jazz, rock, pop, vocal |
