Bluesound Node 2 producing distortion and dropouts

I have my Bluesound Node connected via co-ax to a Chord Hugo TT-2 and have been experiencing some issues as of late. When I start to listen to music I sometimes have a distortion with dropouts. I have found that if I unplug the power cord on the Bluesound and press the buttons on the top and re-plug the power cord, the issue goes away.

is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a signal from the Bluesound that is starting to fail and I should start shopping for a replacement streamer. A little background, I originally bought this unit 3-4 years ago,new. I used a Rega DAC then a Chord Cutest and about 6-8 months ago the Hugo. Until a few weeks ago I had great service from this unit, so I don’t feel the DAC is related to the issue. I mainly am using Tidal and Qobuz for streaming.

any insight is greatly appreciated, thank you.

dinosore, I figured since it was out of warranty they wouldn't help me. But I will try that and see what they say. Also is that community forum found on the bluesound website or is it here on audiogon.com? I wasn't aware of its existence. 

Thank you for your help

donlp33, Thank you for your response and the way to find the forum. But I hadn't thought of a error on the last update. Maybe Bluesound has a fix in the works, but I will send them an email dinosore suggested and make sure that they may have an issue brewing.

Thanks again
