Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2

Looking at both of these units and I know there is a $500 difference but can anyone tell me the differences between them and which might be better? It seems as the CXN uses dual DACS and has balanced outs. It might actually sound better but any help would be appreciated.

wgosma,
So I did not think that power cords cord make a difference but I took a chance and upgraded to a power cord for my Krell Integrated Amp and my Cd Transport and have heard a remarkable difference in the sound.  Gonna do my Phono stage as well.
Worth trying out!!

I changed out the PC on my Vault 2 and it made a noticeable improvement.  Built my own and took ten minutes.

@wgosma: Opinions vary on the efficacy of aftermarket power cords. My advice to anyone who asks is to investigate them only after you are satisfied with every other part of your system, with emphasis on the speakers, room acoustics, and electronics.

I just put on a Wireworld mini Electra PC on a Bluesound Node 2i and it made a nice difference in a less harsh quality, to be expected with better power cables.
I am not using the internal DAC. It’s going into my Yggdrasil /A2-5.
Streaming with Qobuz is quite good and close to my PSA DS memory transport.
