Got a big jump in SQ. The DAC chips in the Bluesound are very good. But they are voiced to sound a certain way. W/an outboard DAC you can fine tune the sound w/various filters and in the case of my DAC can use the parametric EQ to shape the sound I want.

Was it used via its analogue outputs? Coax, toslink outputs into an outboard DAC? What was the source of data to Node 2i?
