| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? Benchmark DAC 3B and I use my wife for blind testing. I know it is not a perfect test but if she asks why it sounds so much better then it works for me. | |
| Streamer always on? Not sure I never had the node 2. Actually I hold for 5 seconds not 3 and it's called vacation mode , I assume it's powered down as it will not respond to the app until I wake it up by touching the play / pause again on the unit. | |
| Streamer always on? I power down my Node2i at night before bed. You hold the play / pause in the center of the top control for 3 seconds to power it down. | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ?????????? I ripped my CD's with dbpoweramp to wav file . I didn't change any settings other than rip to wav and where to store the files and my Node2i found them without any problem when I hooked it up and built the index.

| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Another unknown group that's been around for about 20 some odd years , Small Potatoes, they have a couple CD on tidal " Waltz of the Wallflowers" is pretty good. American folk I know not everyone's cup of tea but a fun little group to listen to. | |
| Difference between ESS Sabre Burr Brown Wolfson DACs Hard to say what is best , it seems ESS and AK chips are used a lot now. Wolfson is now made by Cirrus Logic. I would try to listen to a few different DAC's and see what I like. | |
| PC+Dac or Streamer I have never had a problem finding my library with my Node2i but it will dropout every so often. I use it wireless only, way to much trouble to get a wire to my living room. Since I have put the Node on it’s own 5g network ( also make sure you are... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I was in a showroom about a week ago and listened to the small persona B with a McIntosh amp streaming tidal through a node2 and to be honest I was surprised how good it sounded not bright at all and the bass from that little speaker was amazing ... | |
| Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip? Damn, Oh well, I doubt I could hear the difference. |
