| Is anyone doing this with a Bluesound Node 2 or other streaming component? 2psyop - there is no down side - and if you use a great power cables and IC’s it will sound even betterI think it’s one of the best bargains of the yearI tried running the Node 2 through my Bifrost, but the SQ was not as good, so I ditched the Bif... | |

Coupled with the Bifrost, it made digital music singIf they put that amount of effort into a USB-SPDIF converter i would have to bel... |
