Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!

I got the BSN to run to my NAD M51 DAC and everything sound like the treble has been turned up +10db. The bass is also weak. I use Qobuz and Tidal and both sound the exact same way. I can listen to cd’s  is my Oppo of the same music with no problem. 
 

what gives, is it really this bad?

Check the Audio settings, there are Bass and Treble adjustments.    Maybe they were invoked by accident.   I have a Vault 2i and it sounds ok with it's internal DAC.  Should not sound as you described

Didn’t think node does DSP. I haven’t had one for a while. But with all things working correctly you shouldn’t hear what you describe.
