Bluesound Node Icon

@davegolf2424 I don't have an Innuos but I used an Sbooster BOTW with my Auralic Aries Mini it's really well built and gave a nice bump in SQ.

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the Node ICON and the Node  N130 besides the dual dacs in the Node Icon? 

For what it’s worth I upgraded from a Node N130 to an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer with a Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC.  I like the Sense app Innuos uses best.  it works better with Qobuz than BluOs in my experience.  I just use the equipment in one setup so I don’t use for multi room connections.  I have multiple Sonos systems in the house for multi room connections. 

I don’t have personal experience with the icon. I have the node and node 2i. 
I didn’t do a direct comparison. The node is used as a streamer only and the 2i is used with the internal dac on the patio. 
I hear a lot of talk about upgrading the streamer. One video from moon audio suggests the streamer is about 30% and the dac is 70% of the sound. I’d think if you’re looking for sound improvement you would have to go up to a much more expensive streamer and probably the upstream internet line. 
I myself am looking at other areas to improve. 
That’s not to say the streamer doesn’t matter. 

The British Audiophile does YouTube reviews.  He did a recap of his favorite products of 2024 and ranked the Bluesound Node Nano very highly for sound quality. It's only $299.
