The optical connection with the Xeos sounds terrible and the analog sounds amazing (particularly with the Tidal MQA tracks). The Node 2 hooked up to my home system analog/MQA sounds amazing too. I have been waiting to get a expert pro 220 when they start shipping the streamer board (out of patience with this company). Love to check out the Node 2 running analog connection to a 220.
Good to hear this. My Node 2 analog connected sounded even worse than with a digital connection. Maybe it's a matter of cables. Mine is a ordinary RCA cable. What cable did you use ?
Let me know what the outcome of your analog connected Node 2 with D220 will be, please.
