Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2


Looking at both of these units and I know there is a $500 difference but can anyone tell me the differences between them and which might be better? It seems as the CXN uses dual DACS and has balanced outs. It might actually sound better but any help would be appreciated.

Node app is way superior over the CXN and for me is the best music app after Roon.
Cxn has a very slightly better analog output sounding cleaner but not that much. It is similarly only slight better than an LG V20 connected to an amp.
CXN has a physical remote control.
If I were you, I'd go for the Node and then get a better DAC in the future. You won't miss much and you will get the BluOS.
