I like the latest version NODE. I’m very pleased with the sound improvement compared to streaming through my iPad Pro to an Apple AirPort Express. Perhaps an external DAC would be an improvement. I’ve read that a $2K DAC will result in a modest improvement, but I’m not ready to make that jump.
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?
