Which input sounds best will be cable dependent, but I have two identical true 75ohm digital cables (RCA-RCA and RCA-BNC) and the BNC sounds a bit better IMO. Also, run balanced analog out of Gumby if you can. Gumby takes quite a while to burn-in, but is a very rewarding piece of gear once it hits its stride.

Thanks for the post, Soundmig. That is very helpful, especially in regards to the Node 2i and Gumby.
I keep vacillating between getting a Gumby or Vidar (or different amp) next.
Cheers,
