Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter?

rarerace, I’m curious. I’ll take a look at the website.
One flaw with the 1st generation was that the unit kept falling off the Dac RCA input. Finally customer service sent me another replacement and said they were sure this one would fit.

@lowrider57 My Gen 2 has no issues. Why not order it and compare with your Gen 1? I agree with you it gets better with a LPS.

Rarerace, I learned that ver.2 has improved noise reduction so I'm going to contact iFi.

I have a Node 2i, and recently upgraded the coax SPDIF cable and there certainly was an improvement to my ears. I went from a budget Blue Jeans Cable to a Kimber D60. You’re starting from a higher plateau, but the question was will I hear a difference in SQ- you will, but you may have to try a few to find what suits you. In my case the brighter, more detailed D60 was complementary to my warmish system.
