Hi from Australia,
Old noob looking to improve my system and funds are limited.
My current setup is Royd Minstrels and a NAD C326BEE. Used to have a cd player that died 20 years ago so haven't used the system much at all since then.
I've recently been using it again with a chromecast audio hooked up and it sounds ok.
Been looking at maybe getting a Bluesound Node 2i to hook up to it. Plan is to use system purely for streaming from Spotify and Tidal. I also have a mate who can give me a Schitt Modi 3 for free in a couple of months time.
I can stretch my wallet enough to buy the node 2i and then hook up the Schitt to it down the track.
I should also add that I have a NAD 7020 in the cupboard that needs a service but I seem to recall it sounded nicer than the c326BEE. So that's also an option.
The question I have is, is it worth it given my current old gear or should I just stick to my chromecast audio?
Thanks for any advice given. Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Pete
