Dear Bluesound team,

I'm unable to find info on how the Node 2i deals with an analogue input signal.

I like to connect the pre-out of my surround amplifier to the analogue input of the Node 2i, and then connect the digital coax out to my active speakers (to use it as back channel for surround sound).

I know a lot of DA-AD conversion: not optimal for sound quality, but it's just a convenient set-up to get surround back channels, in addition to my normal stereo set-up for music. I also can't connect the pre-out surround directly to the speakers.. also not digital output available on my surround amplifier..

So my main question is at what sample and bitrate will the digital coax output the signal to my active speakers?

 

Thanks a lot in advance for a reply!

Hessel

  Hi Hessel

  Great question! Bluesound Players will accept analogue input and convert this to a 24/96 digital signal for COAX and Optical output. It is converted back to analogue when using the RCA analogue outs. There is no analogue bypass in Bluesound Players.
