Project pre box s2 digital dac/preamp?
Answered
Hi. Could I use my node 2i withe the Project pre box s2 digital dac/preamp? If so, what would be the best connection? What would be the settings on the node 2i? I would go from the node 2i to the Project to my Parasound 275 v2 amp.

Hi Jeffrey
If you wish to use a third party DAC, the NODE's onboard DAC can be bypassed using the COAX or Optical out to your DAC. It looks like that DAC does not support MQA so you will be limited to a single unfold up to 24/96 quality.

Hi Roman & Tony.
I'm new to Bluesound.
Were you ever able to get the Project DAC to work with the Node2i? I just purchased the Node2i.
I have the Pre Box S2 Digital. I was using it with my Mac and MQA was always displayed when present. I tried all of the settings you have both described here but no luck.Tried coax and Toslink.
I just wanted to compare the Bluesound internal DAC to the Project DAC since I have it.
Thank You
Steve

This DAC does support MQA but is not working with my Bluesound Node 2.

If that is the case, in Audio Settings, set MQA External DAC to on (Right position and it will light blue) for the full MQA experience.
