Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC

My stuff is so rookie. One day I hope I can graduate into the big leagues where I can call other’s gear rookie. 

@mofojo Well I just did a update and can't access my "audio" option (go figure) in settings in the Bluesound app. I believe it was at the last or next to the last setting you could choose. I am not positive if it actually disabled the clock in the Node but I had to tic that button to use a external DAC without glitches. 

@OP I am very happy with having added a Pontus II and bypassing the Nodes DAC. I was surprized at the added detail, very happy with going to a stand alone! 

Cheers.

I use a Topping DAC with my Node 2i. It definitely makes a difference.

Ditto on the Schiit Bifrost 2...a great DAC.

I added a Gumby. Sound improved and I am very happy.
