Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!


I got the BSN to run to my NAD M51 DAC and everything sound like the treble has been turned up +10db. The bass is also weak. I use Qobuz and Tidal and both sound the exact same way. I can listen to cd’s  is my Oppo of the same music with no problem. 
 

what gives, is it really this bad?

What do you expect rule of thumb 25% of the cost on average goes into the build including packaging $125  you truly need to spend at least around $1k at bare minim7m to get any respectable fidelity , the Denafrips Pontus 2 by far the best under $2k dac out there that is a very respectable Audiophile product .

buy a little green computer as your Roon ready device with a Solid state 1-2 terabyte hard drive , save until you can buy one these are very cost effective products that are excellent value.
