NEVER has there been a written audition or test that shows how a Node is bettered by a higher $ streamer unless it is pimped with an LPS
Not true. Darko did a comparison and found the Node lacking versus better streamers from Innuos, etc. No getting around it — EVERYTHING matters in streaming just as in audio in general.
As for a digital cable, I’d recommend trying this for 60 bucks and if it doesn’t best your DHLabs cable just return it. I prefer it to other higher-priced cables and find it to be very natural sounding without sacrificing detail, and it might save you some $$$. If you try it, do pay attention to the directional arrows, which are faint and hard to see but very important.
