Disassembling BlueSound Node 2i?

“On either end of the recess in which there are the power inlet and ports, there is a ¾” by 2” (approx..) plastic cover. There is a very slight indent on the bottom of each.

Using your fingers or a thin blade, pop off these covers.

Underneath each cap there is one small Phillips screw. The screws may be covered with a piece of transparent tape, sticky on both sides. Remove the screws, and one side of the cover pops off.”

But are there audible shortcomings that I'm going to hear in my systems? Doing a comparison is obviously very hard. And the audibility would certainly depend on the system and source. I'd be amazed if it were audible on a mid-level system streaming Spotify. But playing through a truly high end DAC into a very resolving system? Well, maybe. OTOH, maybe the Node 2i isn't resolving enough to tell the difference in >>any<< system anyway.
