Don’t hold your breath.On second thought, please do... I will donate a beautiful "Do-Not-Resuscitate" medical bracelet if that will help.  
Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good
A big improvement is to be had using Supra CAT 8+ ethernet cable. A 2-meter cable runs $59 including shipping from seller zendada on eBay.  Many lengths available.Although its advertised as CAT 8+, that is a bit of advertising license, its really ...

Listen to the music on it for awhile, you may find you like it. If not, return the 2i and get your $550 back if your receiver's streamer/dac rocks, its good to have options..
