Airplay is not even remotely at the same level of performance.
I have to agree, I think you got a defective unit.
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?
