The Node2i has a built in dac, while not that good compared to newer dacs it’s probably as good as the preachtree dac if not better. Unlike a lot of others on the forum I have not been impressed with Schiit dacs so between the 2 I would have gone with the peachtree.
Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT?
So… I have no DAC for my CD transport. It will take a while before I buy a very good DAC; I'll spare you the reasons.
Stuck in the house, I wanted a DAC to hold me over.
I'm going to play a Cambridge CXC transport and a Node 2i streamer through the DAC.
I wanted it to be cheap, so when I buy a much better DAC, I won't feel as if I've already spent that part of the budget.
I saw two deals pop up, used, at TMR Audio:
* Schiit modi 2u (several years old) for $69 (down from $149)
* Peachtree DAC-iT (7 years old) for $99 (down from $449)
I went with the Peachtree. Was that the smart move or not?
This is such a low-cost purchase, feel free to be blunt! Tell me your reasons. I'm going to be happy, anyway.
