I have been using Bluesound for about 6-8 years now. I own the Node 2, Vault 2 and now the Node X. I agree it’s a great player with a great OS/User interface. The Node X now comes with a remote. The Node X internal DAC is a huge improvement in sound but I noticed each Bluesound player can sound better with a higher quality external DAC and external linear power supply to replace the stock parts. I am using the Teddy Pardo PS and Denafrips Pontus 12 anniversary DAC with the Node X and a PD Creative PS and Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC with the Node 2. I have both Qobuz and Tidal, but I must say I prefer Tidal. MQA and Hi-res FLAC files sound superb to me. If i had to come up with a beef with Bluesound and also a major strength I would say the units work much better wired via ethernet than the occasional wifi dropout (beef). The strength is in customer support and help. The Bluesound website and staff are very, very good. They have helped me more than once when I was doing something unusual and needed to point the device to my NAS storage and other things.
