Any Bluesound Node2 owners

I picked up a used Node2, my hope is to get decent sound out of tidal MQA. Maybe some setup tips if ya got any, it arrives on monday, thank.

Not knowing rest of your system, it’s hard to say if you will or won’t enjoy the sound from its analog (RCA) outputs. If you research here, common consensus is Node 2 shines with an external DAC. The internal DAC is the weakest link of this otherwise a very versatile streamer. And don’t get hung up on Tidal (MQA). Should you choose to use a external DAC, go with Qobuz as it offers the best SQ, IMHO.

Down the road definitely pick up a DAC as that will make the biggest for the better difference over anything.
