First off I MUST thank all of you for the wealth of info you are sharing. I feel that I have received so much knowledge regarding DAC's and streamers in the last couple of weeks and now I have more questions...
Let me share my situation, I'm old school and running the following gear:
Pass Labs X1 Pre Amp
Pass Labs X250 Amp
Legacy Focus Speakers
Oppo 105 player (presently using the built in DAC and running Qobuz from MacBook via USB ).
I would like to run something wireless and be able to use the Mac while I listen for other things without dealing with music drop outs.
The Cambridge CXN V2 sparked my interest as an all in one fix after having looked at DAC's like the SU10, SMSL M500, and others. I don't need a headphone amp. I want clean enjoyable music through my existing rig.
Questions:
Would I be better served to go with a Node, or Dac Magic with an external DAC or an all in one like the CXN V2?
I want a more convenient way of playing my music but not at the cost of sound quality. If I can improve sound and cut the wires I'd be super happy.
Presently I'm running the Mac with a USB cable to the Oppo 105. From what I've read USB is not the best method but at the moment that seems to be my only option.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
