I have had both the Bluesound node 2i and the AURALiC g1 . I loved the build quality of the AURALiC, but sold it and kept the node 2i. AURALiC is too limited for streaming services, and keeping it wasn’t worth the small sound quality improvement , which wasn’t much of any.
Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers
For those of you that have compared the Node 2/2i to some of the more expensive streamers like Lumin, Aurender, etc., what do the big boys bring to the table. Forget the internal DACs, I'm sure theirs beats the Node. I'm talking about using these devices as stand alone streamers into an outboard DAC. What are the differences you've heard?
