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.

I had 2 Nodes that got hung up and died on updates, both past the warranty period.

Dirac is nice but you might investigate shm.  They are Hong Kong based and make streamers coupled with Dirac.  Or if you have DAC, I really recommend the Wiim Pro, and then add a separate Dirac Unit from shm .  That will keep costs low.  The Wiim is a great piece of budget kit with a fun app.
