Well, I received my Bluesound Node 2 yesterday. Listening to it now. I am very pleased with it. Listening to MQA and regular digital files. Can't say that I can tell a difference though I haven't done an AB comparison of the same song in both formats. In any case, the sound quality is great. I am sure there are refinements that come with more expensive players but I cannot imagine a better bang for your buck addition to my system than the Bluesound Node 2.
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
I am looking for a streamer with a built in DAC. I have backed off my original plan to purchase the Aurender A10 and am looking for a less expensive option. The Bluesound and Lumin players do essentially the same thing BTW, my immediate interest is streaming Tidal, so MQA is a possible plus for both players. The obvious difference between $500 for the Node 2 and $2000 for the Lumin distinguishes the two players. Does that price difference translate to a significant difference in performance/sound quality? Both are within my budget but I would rather not spend the additional $1500 unless the improvement is fairly dramatic. I would really like to hear from anyone who has had both players in their system and have had an opportunity to compare them.
