I thought about moving away from the Node and ended up getting a better DAC and a better USB cable.
Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini?
These two streamers popped up in a few recent threads and got me thinking about upgrading my Bluesound Node, so I would appreciate some advice.
Both are in the $1200 range which is about all I’m willing to spend on digital at this time, so I’m wondering which one I should get and will the difference in SQ be significant, or should I stay where I am for now? (My understanding is the DAC is key to good SQ, but I know zero about DAC brands/specs)
- I stream only, mostly Tidal, then SirusXM, and I am auditioning QoBuz
- I don’t care about MQA
- I don’t need file storage or CD ripping
- I’m reasonably happy with the BluOS app
- Better library / favorites management would be nice
- Input is ethernet cable
- Output is analogue / RCA
Thank you!
