Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?

Thanks again. 

I don't use the Node DAC at all, love the Denafrips. I run them with the the Naim Nait 5si, and Quad S2 speakers.

I love my system in essence, I just feel the Node is the weak element. A/B testing from the Node DAC and Denafrips, the Denafrips is hands down better, and I feel the Node is holding it back. I feel it has more to give; the Teddy Pardo may just give the Node that extra push from what you have described.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated 

What digital coax cable are you using?

At the moment I have the QED Reference Digital Audio 40, and a Wireworld Silver Starlight 7.

The QED was a starting point when I built my system, the Wireworld I bought pre-owned for a good price.

Currently using the Wireworld, it is more revealing than the QED

I will soon let you know.

I have a Teddy Pardo 5v LPS that I was using with a Chord Qutest. 

The Qutest was replaced by a Denafrips Pontus II so I am putting the TP LPS on my Node 2 (N130). All I had to do was order the kit and cable from TP for around $100.00 + shipping.

It arrives next week.

Rest of my rig:

BS Node 2

Denafrips Pontus II

Belles Aria Signature Integrated

Dynaudio Heritage Specials (being compared to S-40s now.)

thx
