Streaming Tidal through Bluesound Node 2 vs Oppo 105D

I've been streaming Tidal through my Oppo 105D (with some bugs), but with MQA I'm wondering if the Bluesound Node 2 would sound better. Has anyone compared the two?

I know that you loved it when you auditioned it at Johnny's. Did he tell you when it will be in? I"m surprised as i know he has one in stock. I'm sure that if you want it today, he'd let you have that one as he can easily sell the one you ordered.

The only reason a dealer would be upset is if you demo with them and buy elsewhere new. Johnny just wants you to love your system. HE's there for you I"m sure.

Personally, if someone is trying to get the best sound quality out of their system, they shouldn't be using the preamp in the node or any other DAC. You can get a cheap NAD preamp (actually they are outstanding) and have a much better sounding system. Those little Bluesound deals are outstanding values based on my listening.
