Node 2i VS Lumin D2


Has anyone compared these unites directly in the same system? I've heard bluesound node2i which sounded pretty good for a $499 unit. I wonder if d2 being $2300 sounds just slightly or significantly better and by better I dont mean thin( too much detail)

Thanks!

I purchased a Node 2i and was talked into adding a ProJect DAC.  When I connect the DAC, I noticed the sound was too thin and I thought the Bluesound Node 2i sounded better by itself.  It seemed to play bass better and I don't care what anyone thinks, I can hear the difference when I play MQA using TIDAL.  I still wonder why MQA sounds better to me.  Maybe I am just imaging this.  I would have loved to hear more expensive streamers before deciding on the BlueSound.
