Nice video. I was really hoping it was a review of iFi’s new streamer/DAC. Hopefully you can get your hands on one of those. Since you have one, an interesting comparison would have been the built-in DAC in the Naim Uniti Atom (or NAD M10 v2, or Cambridge 150) versus the Node using the iFi iDSD DAC. I believe all three of those units have an analog input. I know the Naim does. So you could have plugged the Node/IFi combo into the Naim’s analog in and streamed directly to the Naim and then to the Node, so it would be a very fair comparison, removing the variables. I think the Naim and the iFi both use Burr Brown dacs, so that would be really interesting to me.
Thank you! Hopefully I can get the streamer/dac. That would be a good comparison to just compare the Dac only. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to do so. If it’s not with this one maybe another in the future. I just don’t know how long I’ll have the ifi dac available.
@@Hifyed Thanks for the reply. I totally get it. I think my comment was more broadly related to doing a comparison to a more price appropriate DAC. And I realize your channel is new, so you don’t have a large inventory of equipment from which to choose for a comparison. I would hope that the iFi is better than the internal DAC in the Node. So I was just trying to think of thing I believe you have on-hand to do a comparison. Like - does the iFi iDSD compare favorably to similarly priced DACs, does it outperform, underperform?
