External DAC but what about Pulse Mini?

I run a Vault 2i into an NAD receiver. My wired A speakers are Totem Sky with REL sub for living room listening, and my wired B speakers are actually 4 pairs of in ceiling or on wall speakers in other rooms and outdoors controlled through a Niles selector. Considering adding an external DAC for any improvement in sound I might realize from my A speakers. I assume I won't hear any difference through any of the B speakers. But I hadn't thought about the Pulse Mini 2i in my home office until now. Will it be out of synch with the rest of the speakers? Can't imagine it would be but wondered if anyone has experience with something like this.

  Perfect synchronisation is what we specialise in. A PULSE MINI or even a POWERNODE in the other room and maybe put the MINI in the Kitchen would be an excellent idea.

  That's what I was hoping for. Thank you.

  Following up please and would appreciate comments/suggestions.

  My Vault 2i runs to an external Schiit BitFrost DAC via optical toslink, then through RCA cables to my NAD T758. How do I ensure I'm hearing the analog output through both Zone 1 and Zone 2? It seems the internal BlueOS card is still active. If I adjust the group volume control so that the internal BlueOS card is at 0db, I lose volume on the 758 main speakers while my zone 2 speakers are playing. I also have the Mini 2i in my group which is playing too. Am I even hearing the music from the vault, or is it just processing the stream at the internal BlueOS card and playing it through the 758's internal DAC? This is very confusing to me. I can't disconnect the dongle for the BlueOS inside the 758 as then I loose the ability to control the music through the NAD app on my iphone/ipad.

  If BluoS is selected as the source on the T758, you are hearing the internal VM130 BluOS Card. If the Source that the external DAC is connected to is selected, you are hearing music sent from the VAULT and being processed by your external DAC.

  You should also go into the BluOS App and with the VAULT selected, go into Settings, Audio and set the VAULT's volume to fixed. This will set the VAULYT's volume to a maximum (100%) and have you control volume using the DAC and/or T758.
