Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good

Sounds flat vs streaming from marantz 5014 heos, which is more revealing and open.  Both ways are wired.
Is there a break in period?  Otherwise it is disappointing.

I am listening thru b&w spkrs and mcintosh amp. And wired to analogue inputs of avr

thanks for any comments, suggestions

A Schiit Bifrost should be better than the Node 2i.

Or Okto Dac8 Stereo which also includes a streamer so you can sell the Node.

It's a nice $500 streamer which includes a built-in $50 DAC.   

Digi Coax and Optical outputs located on the rear for a reason.

Another vote for not impressed. There are better products.

 

Happy Listening!
