Digital out from a POWERNODE?

Is this possible with the USB? 

If so, would it still work with an analog input into the POWERNODE? 

I'm looking into DAC / AMP options for headphones. 

Thanks!

  Hi Nick

  The POWERNODE has no pre-outs.

  USB output is limited to only the NODE n130.

  @Nick,

  Same thoughts here, my Sundara doesn't sound well on my N330 and I'm considering the bluetooth output for IFI Zen one/Zen Can signature HFM. Considering a cd transporter as well later.

  @tony w,

  Will the USB port on the PowerNode ever be enabled to use, say, an external DAC? Logically, if you can do it on the N130...
  
  The PowerNode struggles a little for planar headphones such as the Sundara, hence my question.

  Hmm. I use a FiiO BTR7 and I can connect that to the PowerNode over Bluetooth. Could be a game changer although wired will always be better than Bluetooth, so the question stands.
