Today, I add my iFi iTube (from my last system) to my D200 system. Music is played via Bluesound Node --RCA-> iTube --RCA-> D200. This way I can play my 24/192 FLAC music using Bluesound Node and output to D200. (Bluesound does support 24/192 Toslink output, but D200 optical input can only support 24/96).
Surprisingly, I'm experiencing great 'tube' music with such setup. I thought analog line-in to D200 will be converted to digital and the 'tube' effect will be gone. But, this seems not the case.
Note:
I try the above setup because Air keeps dropping when I air-ed 24/96 and 24/192 files to D200.
