Yeah, I saw that about the Node X very exciting, if I can use the Node X as a receiver and will purchase Icon for my desk (I use the Node X for that now).I doubt that the Technics has a better DAC.
The Nano does not get Dirac Live.
Btw. Bluesound is currently checking whether Dirac Live can be implemented on the Node X![]()
About the DACs, I will do A/B testing and find out, but I compared in the past Bel Canto C6i and its DAC was better. I was surprised too, these kind of things are hard to compare on specs, I guess.
About the Nano, I have multi-room setup with in ceiling speakers that will benefit from the Nano for each multi-zone- at $299 its one of the cheapest option to provide separate streaming for each zone (I know, I know Wiim is cheaper)
You seems to know the bluesound devises well, here are couple questions:
- I mainly need the Dirac as I am planning to integrate two active bass units (or active subwoofers) to my full-range single driver speakers in the living room. Since I am severely limited on locations for those bass units , my plan is to use room correction to get the sound right. When using Dirac I assume LPF will be applied to the sub output and also HPF be applied to the main signal or it will be full range. Is that correct?
- If I attach the sub to the Node can I use the digital out to get the main signal to the other DAC/Preamp/Amp or digital out won't work in parallel with the sub-out?
