Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good

I returned the Note BNode and ordered the Wiim Mini.  I thought for $100 I would give it a try.  And it now does 24bit/192kHz.  So far I think it is great.  I use the optical out to the DAC in my Hegel integrated and the sound quality is excellent.  It has all the features of the BNode I wanted and the iPad app is just as good.  

Another thumbs down for the Bluesound. Just tried it on my Hegel 160 (built in DAC) - tried the Bluesound both with the Bluesound DAC and the Hegel DAC and the built in Airplay in the Hegel (with the Hegel DAC) sounds much better (especially the mid range).  Surprised it was so noticeable.  Back it goes.
