I tried updating using these steps as well. The only thing that happened was that my USB driver reverted to 1.05. Nowhere can I see that an upgrade to ver 2.01 has happened.

You make an interesting point here. What's missing in this comparison is what Tidal would sound like if passed through the Apodizing filter. We didn't do that because we assumed that MQA would be superior. In Roon, let me configure the M500 as having no MQA support and then see how it sounds...

No measurements here, please don't shoot me. Have had the M500 for a week now, and tried it in various configurations. The TL;DR version is: Sounds best in the following config: FLAC/ Qobuz -> Roon (ROCK) -> Node2i (Ethernet) -> Coax -> M500 -> Amp. Every configuration where one of the upstream...

Thanks. I would have tried if I could. Unfortunately, this particular model is not available on Amazon in India. I planned to pick it up on Amazon in the US next week. While in the US, I have no reference to compare it to. So I'm not in a position to take a call based on my ears.

Hi, am seriously considering this as an external DAC to the Bluesound Node 2i streamer in a loudspeaker setup (not headphones). Do you think it will make a substantial difference compared to the internal DAC in the Node 2i, or is this just upgradeitis? Here's what I know doesn't make a...
