A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC?


Is there such an animal? I mean… why buy high quality and then have to thread it into my Bluesound Node DAC?

Blu sound streamer is not that great  at both streamer and it’s $200 dac inside.

money-much better spent using a computer and a Denafrips Aries2  dac 

night and day better sound , and no mention of  the Ethernet or dac cable 

Wireworld Starlight usb, as well as Ethernet are Excellent for the monies 

and a Pangea sig-2 power cord ,using Cardas Occ Copper great buy for under $200 these are excellent for a entry level Audio system 

and when you can afford it a Uptone Audio Ether regen Ethernet hub makes a very good upgrade ,regenerating a clean Ethernet signal.

I don't completely agree that the DAC inside the Node is not that great. It sounds really good to me. I guess my external Bifrost 2 or Benchmark sounds slightly better but when I play most MQA files through Node alone it sounds very, very good. YMMV

I agree. Bluesound Node. Sounds too good to waste $$ on DACs that don’t include ARC HDMI

2psyop-  if Tidal MQA sounds good, imagine how much better Qobuz would sound!
