I’ve recently used a Bluesound Node 2 as a Roon endpoint to play music ripped to a Qnap NAS via the Node 2 S/PDIF output into a DAC/integrated amp and found it on a par with very satisfying CDP and CDT/DAC sources I’d used in years past. I could easily live with the setup and keep my Node 2 as a backup for that functionality.
Moving from Analog to Digital
I'm "upgrading" from an analog McIntosh system (C31V audio/video controller, MCD7008 CD changer, MC2600 power amp, MR-7082 tuner, Techniques Turntable) to a NAD M12 preamp/dac w/ BlueOS module and M22 v2 power amp. The NAD gear arrives tomorrow. My plan is to first use the M12 with the MC2600 to see how it sounds, and then connect the M22 for a comparison.
I'm new to digital audio and had considered buying the NAD M50.2 but, based on my research, the BlueOS module provides the same streaming capability as the M50.2 (minus the CD ripping/storage). My CD library is currently ripped to a Synology NAS, so I was thinking that would suffice. I hope streaming from my NAS via the DAC gives me a sound comparable (acceptable) to my turntable, but I'm confident it will sound better than just my MCD7008 along.
Any one have any experience with the NAD 12 w/ BlueOS module & M22 v2, or can offer any advice on my move to digital.
