Node 2i performance suggestions pls

Chromecast audio outperform or I prefer it better than node2i in my system since I’m not using DAC in either of them 

I used a Wireworld power cord, made a nice difference... not as forward in my system and way smoother presentation.....will try the Cat cable direct from router next ,! 
Cheers Ken

I have not tried one but a Sbooster power supply might be a good upgrade

@jtsnead , that would be nice, but you'll need to remove and mod the IEC on the Node.

@lalitk , I wanted to thank you for the Supra recommendation. Installed it today and heard an immediate improvement in low-end impact and detail. Music has more weight. Jazz basslines are very palpable with orchestra double bass more detailed.
Many thanks.

You’re welcome. I say this unequivocally to anyone using a generic ethernet cable, the Supra CAT8 ethernet cable is a no-brainer. There is nothing but upside to use this cable with a dedicated audio server.

Enjoy!
