Just updated my Statement, needed both 2.5 and 2.6…wow, Holy smokes…very nice improvement. Lower noise floor, better instrument separation and sonic density. Very enjoyable and noticeable.
time for more listening….
I did just that; from N130 with PD Creative kit and LPS, to Zen Mini mkiii w/Innuos LPS. Sold the Node and picked up the Zen pre-loved It wasn't a minor improvement to SQ. To my mind, this jump was/is a major one; the law of diminishing return yet to kick in at this level, if that makes sense. I also dropped the Network Acoustic ENO filter between network switch and the Zen which improved things again. |
Thanks for the reply @painter24 I’m sure the Node is the weakest link in my system, but going into a Denifrips Pontus ll has it sounding really good. I can only imagine how great a better streamer would sound. |
