Looking forward to reading your impressions of this piece. Youtube video on it, take a look! youtu.be/5-elRPwj_ggI have gotten the same impression as you. I hooked up the analog out and the digital out to my XMC-1. I found the internal DAC of the Node2i to be a little harsh on the mid to high end. I prefer to use the DAC in the XMC-1. Now you need to rip those CD's as FLAC files onto a PC or NAS and you will have the best of both worlds with network and local music in good resolution. Enjoy! |

Enjoyed the video. Good job, now I want one. Â BILL Thank you! To me it was a bargain. FYI if you look around I have seen them for as low as $450 for factory refurbished with full warranty. For me I bought at a brick and mortor store for $550. |

Â I am hoping to figure out a way to do that with out spending an are and a leg. Time to do some research to see what I can do with what I have. |

 SSD for my laptop. I took long enough. I did something silly and listened to someone else who said I couldn't put in an SSD. He was wrong. |

Just got these in today and sound pretty good so far. Waiting on my the Drop currently. Have the 7xx and hd58x coming. Was close to getting the he4xx but where I already have a pair of m560 planar magnetics I thought I would try a couple others out. |

A fresh install from the ground up. I had a 5400 HDD and it was bone slow. I installed the SSD and the computer doesn't run nearly as inefficiently as it used to. I took so long doing this. Glad finally it is done. |

You will have to let me know what you think of the AKG and sennheiser. I was thinking either the sennheiser hd58x or the hifman and just decided on the hifiman...so far so good. |
