The problem was the DAC you purchased was subpar from the internal DAC in the bluesound. If I remember correctly from your previous posts, it was a Pro-ject DAC Box S2. Thats like saying a $300 turntable doesn't sound as good as the Bluesound Node 2i so obviously the Node is better than vinyl. You need a better DAC to realize the potential of a stand alone DAC.
