Interconnect Suggestions?

Just got a Bluesound Node 2i, it has worked superbly on my wifi grid, and I’m really enjoying it but I know the the supplied RCA interconnects need a significant upgrade-replacement.  What would be a really synergistic, sub $200 U.S. approx 1 meter pair of L&R RCA type interconnects for this unit to hook up to a PrimaLuna Prologue Classic integrated which is feeding JBL L65s?  A DAC is on my “to get” list so I’d like to get interconnects that would be commensurate with what could be switched to the DAC>PrimaLuna role in the future......Had been looking at a Schiit Bifrost 2 but back to browsing now.  Certainly won’t be going more upscale than a Qutest with this setup in any eventuality...

Thanks in advance.

+1, what jmphotography said.  

Several friends with Node/2i units who all added step-up external DACs and really good digi coax cables with notable benefits with added musical enjoyment. Yes, various threads out there on this topic.

@lg1 I am running a PrimaLuna EVO300i as well. When I had the Bluesound I was using a Cardas cable. The Bluesound is a great piece for the price but it does have a little grit on the edges of upper mid to high and I found the Cardas did smooth that out a little. I can whole heartedly recommend the Qutest. When I added a Qutest I couldn't believe what I was missing in the music, as good as the Node2i was the Qutest just opened up the music so much more. The qutest was a stretch for me but it worth every penny.

Blue Jean's Cables or Signal Cables. Both very good and very affordable.

These cables won't do well for digital. For Node2i to DAC you'll need a S/PDIF digital coax cable for best SQ.

Apologies...Just noticed a near identical and recent thread and I don’t know how to delete this one.
