Bluesound Node versions SQ

For those of you with both the 130 and the 132 versions, have you tested the sound quality of just the streamer/transport section and how they sound compared to each other? I'm still streamer researching and wondering if there is a difference when these two units are connected to an outboard DAC. I was thinking if not, then I might consider the older 130 version as it's discounted and then the savings could be applied to an LPS upgrade kit.

I've also been reading that some owners have had issues using the Node's USB output with the Qutest..Thoughts on either subject is appreciated.

Why are we trying to stick a $300 streamer on a $1500 DAC?

stay in the same ballpark for optimum results.

Good day to you, I really can understand your situation and being on a fixed income. I too am on a fixed income, damn life can be hard sometimes. I just take a different approach about settling. If I was in your shoes, I know we’re not, but we get our sandals from the same manufacturer. I would get a WIIM mini on Amazon. Then I would take the next 8 to 10 to 12 months save like it was going out of style. At this point take your blue sound money and the money saved and look at a INNUOS or Aurender product. Taking this path allows you to immediately enjoy listening to music. Then afterwards you get to have a crazy good experience that will be well worth the effort compared to just grabbing a blue sound and living.
