Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
If you can't level match you're not getting a true comparison. If you have a SPL meter listen to them both at the same dB in your listening position. I imagine the only reason the Node sounds better is it's louder. My guess is it's louder simply b...
