I basically second the others here. I have the Mytek Manhattan and the Bluesound Node 2 and Vault 2. There is no comparison between the DACs in the Mytek v. Bluesound isn’t even close, nor should it be. The Manhatten is a dedicated DAC that goes for about 10 times the price of the combo Bluesound DAC-Streamer. I’ve never heard the Brooklyn, but imagine the same applies.
btw, both the Brooklyn and the Bluesound will do MQA.
Another factor is reliability. Bluesound does updates very frequently, and many of them wind up disabling functionality. In the 2+ years that I’ve had Bluesound, I would say that’s inoperable about 20% of the time. In fact, I also had their Pulse Mini, which is an expensive glorified boom box, and it died completely on me last month. The warranty is one year, and Bluesound has told me that I’m sol. I’m not to impressed by the short life span of a $500 component that sat in my kitchen for two years without moving.
My Mytek hasn’t missed a beat
