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?

You will want to make sure the tone controls are set to off and that you have the volume set to "output level fixed".

Wondering if you read my post above? I have been a very happy owner of a 2i for the last couple of years, running it though an external DAC.

To repeat:

You will want to make sure the tone controls are set to off and that you have the volume set to "output level fixed", (the latter assuming you are using a separate preamp and not using the Node's preamp function).

The Node is a ton of fun.
