I have owned a Bluesound vault2 for 18 months and use it mainly for streaming tidal and deezer now.
Imho its weakest point is its DAC.
I get much improved sq using its spdif out to the DAC in my Lyngdorf than from its rca outs to the Lyngdorf. This was also the case on two previous integrated amps, both Hegel.
I cannot see the DAC in the node being any better than the vault, more like exactly the same I would say.
Do not ditch the Brooklyn yet, at least not for a node2!
