I would like to know if I use the coaxial output connected to my dac if the sound quality will be based only on my dac? In other words, does the quality of the streamer have any impact on the sound quality produced?
Agree completely with geof3 and jjww49, my combination of a Node 2i with an external Bel Canto DAC 3 sounds superb and I find the both the Bluesound OS and the Tidal Connect app very well designed and reliable.
It's worth looking into upgrading the power board with PD Creative and power supply with Sbooster. The high noise floor of the stock Node 2i streams lo-fi at best, even with an external dac.
