It isn’t too difficult to beat the dac of the node, but the node is great for streaming and the UI is top notch.
+3 that the Hint DAC will likely sound better than the node dac, but as others have mentioned there are also many $2k standalone dacs that will take the performance higher still if you want to grow down the road. Happy listening
