I currently own NODE (Gen 3) and I'm interested in CX100 only for its display (to see the cover arts). I'm wondering if moving from NODE (optical output) to CX100 (or any other streamer such as Eversolo] while using external DAC (RME ADI) would result in any change in sound quality and in what way?
If I get the same quality as my Node I would be happy.
What I want to understand, in general, is that if I get digital out of my streamer to use it with my external DAC, does is really matter what streamer I use (concerning sonic aspect)?
My current setup:
RME - ADI2 (preamp, and DAC)
NAD C298 (amp)
Streamer (Node gen 3)
KEF LS50 Meta
SVS Micro Sub
