Hi,

my Amps Built-in DAC (Audia Flight Three S) has only a USB B-Type input.

Is there a way to connect my Node 2 to it, ie Coax or Toslink to USB B Cable/Converter?

  Hi Barlas

  The NODE does not support USB interfaces. Any adapters or custom cables will expose playback to additional distortion or jitter. 

  Generally speaking DACs that have USB only input are more designed for streaming from an external computer to help resolve those very poor laptop DACs. I would recommend getting the right tool for the right job.
  
  In the meantime, use your analog outputs of the NODE and let your ears decide.
