Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac

Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac
Thank you for the link! I am rather discouraged as I spent over $2,000 CAD for the Pontus and I have not been able to enjoy the Dac at all as the problem occurred almost immediately. I will try to help Alvin diagnose the problem if I come to a hap... 
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
I am waiting for a Denafrips Pontus DAC to arrive and I will team that up with a Bluesound Node 2i streamer for the time being. Read the reviews on the Denafrips as they read to be an excellent performer. Bill from Nova Scotia 
The lovely Capriccio Continuo Admonitor 311's a real gem. Your thoughts?
The gentleman talked about Zellaton drivers but it might not have been in relation to the CC’s. My memory is not as good as it used to be lol. I thought there was a connection. I think they might have in common that they are sandwich drivers? Agai... 
The lovely Capriccio Continuo Admonitor 311's a real gem. Your thoughts?
Hi Fuzztone, it took me a while to get here and I am done for the time being. Winter is around the corner and I look forward to listening to music and discovering new music. The V4's were bought used but in very good condition and they came with K... 
What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1
Sorry to add to the long list of recommendations but a pair of Quicksilver V4’s should make a lovely match to your Harbeth speakers. I am pairing mine with Capriccio Continuo Admonitor’s from Italy. I listen to Jazz mostly and while I do like it l... 
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?
Avanti1960, when you say I need to test carefully you are speaking of the sound quality? Would I do any damage to the output transformers by keeping a rated 6 ohm speaker load on 4 ohm outputs? I have settled on the 4 ohm taps as the sound is more... 
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?
Hi jrwaudio! Well anytime you can get back to Nova Scotia it is even more beautiful...The gentleman I purchased the two tube mono blocks from told me to always keep a speaker load on it when turned on so I was worried about trying a 6 ohm load on ...

Eric_Squires...the 4 ohm taps worked best for my setup.  
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?
Tomic601, that makes sense to me as well...thank you. So glad I made the change to the 4 ohm taps today on everyone's recommendation because all around I now have a very pleasing sound output with a boost in the bass and a less hot high end. Next ... 
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?
Very interesting, that's exactly what I experienced. I am trying to listen again like I did when I was a teenager. I really like the midrange from the Thiel's as I really enjoy female voice and jazz. Listening to the beautiful soundtrack from Phil... 
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?
Thanks for everyone's input! Much appreciated! Originally I had placed the speakers on the 8 ohm taps as recommended by the person who sold the pair to me...he had a tube stereo power amp. After listening to my setup at home on my Dynaco MK 3's I ...
