$100 more than the Node 2i and no support for MQA, but still curious if anyone has heard one?

Haven’t had any prior experience with AirPlay, but so far ( after 25 hours of initial burn in) it sounds..........quite good...... The HEOS control app leaves much to be desired, but with Roon via AirPlay, the poor app isn’t a issue. With more play time the 800 NE should get even better.......for 600.00 retail, it represents a nice alternative to the BLUESOUND NODE 2i, which I also have. The BLUESOUND app, however is much better.
