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


Seriously.
I am seeking a little upgrade help.

I use a simple DH Labs coax/SPDIF cable to a Chord Qutest.Sounds ok to me.
Would I possible hear a SQ improvement if the coax cable was "upgraded"?

if so, to what?
Thanks.

@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.
