New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming?

Just a heads up on the Node's USB output when using the Node as a Roon Endpoint - there are still issues with the implementation of this from Bluesound's side of things.

On their Support/Community site,  they state the Firmware that opened the USB output is still in Beta. I've used the USB out to my DAC,  and like many others have had to revert to a digital coax connection for Roon as crackles and pops make listening impossible. 

Hopefully this will be fixed with a future Firmware update,  but at the moment it's an issue. But just to emphasise,  digital coax output to a DAC works absolutely fine with the Node as Roon Endpoint

Ok. Thanks for that. I was aware that it could be an issue, but was hoping it had been sorted by now. 
I guess really my question is which sounds better (if we discount the internal dacs) or are they going to be pretty much the same. If so the I guess it just comes down to features/size etc. 

If you're doing Roon just get a Sonore Ultra Rendu and go USB to the DAC

Yeah, I’ve looked at those and I just don’t think I can get along

with the design (ie look) of it. To be fair it looks a little better than the micro rendu.

Bryston BDP pi on here.  I have one and they make a great Roon endpoint.
