Bluesound node 2i wifi vs bluetooth connections sound quality


Hello,

Wondering if anyone has done a comparison of sound quality on the Bluesound Node 2i between wifi vs bluetooth connections?  Is wifi definitely better?  Currently using Bluetooth aptx-hd to my Topping DAC.  Getting a new DAC w/o built-in bluetooth so debating whether to spring for a Bluesound Node 2i or just a bluetooth receiver (like BluDento) for a lot less and wondering generally how big of an improvement it is using wifi.

Thanks

I had the Node 2i.  The Bluetooth sucked compared to the wired or WiFi.

To be fair, I haven’t heard the latest Bluetooth codec.  The 2i, however used an older lousy codec.  Not sure what the NodeX does for Bluetooth
