True dumacker. I use the Node 1's with an Ayre Codex. I listened to both the Node 2 Dac and the Ayre. The Ayre definitely improved the sound reproduction.
In essence, I only use the Bluesound for its' wireless connectivity.
The only drawback to Bluesound is that it only works with 2.5ghz networks. I ended up plugging in a Netgear 5ghz router to the Bluesound in order to get it separated from all the other traffic.-Works like a charm.
