Ever throw a sheet over your speakers? Sure sounded like this to me when I began using bluesound. Soooo disappointing. So it will be resigned to a streamer after a new DAC arrives.
The streamer in the bluesound is not that great either. If you budget is up to it, looking into a comparable streamer with you your chord dac will bring more dynamics, openness, clarity...
