Bluesound node confusion

I was hoping to get some help determining the differences between the different versions of the node. First gen .,second gen., 2i in between, n 130,n132?

have a second system with some klipsch rp600m II an old outlaw pre/pro and would like to stream on the cheap. Using a slash 6 and my phone with iTunes and it’s pretty rough sounding in the front end. I’ve never had a dedicated streamer and thought this would be a good way to get my feet wet.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all the info! I didn’t know the 130 referred to the 2021 version. I was planning on getting no earlier than that so that helps me a whole bunch. Thanks for the source references too. I was watching a YouTube video about the node that the guy was explaining that gapless streaming is not a given for all devices and the blue Sound node was one of the best at achieving that.

The icon is nice I’m sure but I’m looking for hapless streaming for five hundred dollars or less. If the dac performance is good enough for now I can always add a better dac later. I was trying to differentiate between the standard versions of the node because there might be a feature that might miss. And also the best performing internal dac in that range.

Gapless streaming. Auto correct got me again!

Dirac correction is probably worth it to me. Internal dad should be fine for the level of system I’m running it in. Thanks everyone for the input!
