Bluesounds have amazing quality for the price. You probably have a bad unit or weak cables. I have been running a Bluesound Node 2i for a year with high End Nordst Cables. Last week I upgraded to a DirectStream with Kimber XLR > Schiit Freya+ > Parasound A23 Monoblock > Sonus Faber Sonetta VIII
So with the DAC and XLR cables a $6000 upgrade. Of course this is an improvement over the Node 2i but most people couldn’t justify the extra $6k bc the Node 2i sings so good.
