If you want to "upgrade" something, save your money and replace the Node 2i.
Help Please:Upgrade Coax cable between Node 2i and Chord Qutest..?
Hi,
I have a Bluesound Node 2i going to a Chord Qutest (with Teddy Pardo LPS) feeding a Belles Aria Signature Int amp driving Dynaudio S-40s.
I use a DH Labs digital Coax/SPDIF cable between Node and Qutest.
It is .5M and was $120 new.
MY QUESTION:
Sticking to a budget of $300-$500 new or used, would I expect to hear sonic benefits from an "upgraded" coax cable?
If so, what would you suggest I look at?
(Not looking for a USB v Optical v Coax rabbit hole please...;-)
Thanks,
Ian

I have a Black Cat Silverstar connecting my external clock, and another connecting to my Dac. A very good cable. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649792413-black-cat-silverstar-75-mk-ii-digital-interconnect/ |
Appreciate the responses - even the snarky ones. LOVE all these guys who think that Tidal sounds better if you spend more $$ on a "better" streamer. NEVER has there been a written audition or test that shows how a Node is bettered by a higher $ streamer unless it is pimped with an LPS, etc. Can do that with a Node now. ...Ill wait...;-) iFi Zen...?...that's funny. ...;-) |
