I have a Blue Sound Node 2 hooked up to my integrated DAC amp Atoll IN 300 and use it with Roon and Qobuz. Works fine but unable to stream over 96kHz despite what the specs indicate. I haven’t tested the sound from the Node 2 analog variable output but, although not up to the best DAC’s, I have read that it does a decent job. Good choice at this price point in my opinion.
