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.

Thanks everyone, So I presently just use an Audioengine D2 wireless out of my MacBook and connect via Audioquest Cinnamon Toslink into my Krell Digital Vanguard.
While the quality is okay I wondered what would be a better solution to playing back my digital files. I purchased the CXN and still have it new in the box but someone mentioned the Bluesound to me as a competitive solution. Those of you using the CXN, do you connect to your LAN and then connect to your MACBook via usb or upload all your music onto a LACie HD and plug in that way. I do add music to my itunes (3000+ songs) and wondered also about if Audirvana makes a difference?

wgosma,
So I did not think that power cords cord make a difference but I took a chance and upgraded to a power cord for my Krell Integrated Amp and my Cd Transport and have heard a remarkable difference in the sound.  Gonna do my Phono stage as well.
Worth trying out!!
