The DAC in the Parasound is actually very good, much better than the one supplied with the Bluesound. Tried and tested. Much better. I have a Straightwire Coax run from Node to Hint 6. Make sure your settings in the Node are set for an external DAC.
Which DAC is better?
I am using a new Bluesound Node 2 connected with the default RCA cables into my Parasound Hint 6.
This uses the Nodes DAC and not the Hint 6s DAC. If i understand correctly, I can connect the Node using an optical/usb cable into the Hint 6 thereby using the Hints DAC and not the Nodes.
Which is the better option?
I am aware i can buy some cables and test this out for myself.
I was just curious if anyone else had an opinion.
