If I wanted to use the DAC on my MAC, should I connect using Coax Digital/Toslink or USB? Reason I am asking is so that I know which cable to put my money towards.
I don't believe Bluesound has released an update to enable the Node 2 to be Roon ready yet. It has supposedly been in the works. Roon is just software to manage your digital music files. Although Roon supposedly has more management features, it doesn't offer much more than what is available through other device's operating system apps. The MB50 is not Roon ready.
I'd use a digital coaxial cable to connect to your C2600's DAC. I use Toslink because I only have one digital coaxial input on my preamp which I use from my CD player.
