You can use the Node2 as a preamp but all the “controls”, e.g., volume, etc., will need to be made via its BlueOS app on phone or tablet. While the sound initially seemed dynamic and crisp, I personally thought it sounded a bit dry and lifeless after a few days when I used it that way just like most DACs that I tried direct to my amp(s). You can stick a Schiit Sys ($49) in between the Node2 and amp to control the volume if you happen to like the sound from the direct connection.
New rigg. B&W N804
Hi!
Im rather new at this and English is not my first language, so I might be a little bit lost, sorry. Anyhow!
Just picked up a pair of N804 for cheap. So I'll be trying to assemble a nice little rigg for my cabin.
So the question is if anyone has some experience with this speaker and what amplifiers might be compatible. I live in Sweden so the used market looks quite a bit diffrent from the states, I'd imagine.
Also, I'd really like to be able to stream music, using spotify & Tidal. What device would suit this mission?
There is a Classé CA-400 for sale aswell in the area about 1500 USD might this be a suitable power-amp?
