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. Bob

It sounds great and has really good support. They use individual stereo dacs for each channel (better isolation?) and the software is very good. Lots of reviews on youtube might help you sort out the different models. What I gleaned from reviews was the first gen units were very good but many improvements were employed in the gen 2 models good luck
