Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I prefer a simple 2-channel system and seem to exclusively stream from my bluesound node.
  • I’m enjoying actually listening to music again. EgglestonWorks Fontaine Signatures, Sonneteer Integrated Amp, Gold Note Valore 325 TT / Gold Note Black, REL T/9x, Bluesound Node.
  • I am very satisfied with how it sounds and probably will not upgrade any major components.
  • Bluesound Node streamer

Cons

  • I made the switch from a Wiim Ultra to a BluSound Node. I use Vandersteen 5As and Audio Research. Couldn’t hear a damn bit of difference. Zero. Calling it anything like a dramatic difference is huge hyperbole.
  • I compared the Bluesound Node (newest version) to a Wiim Pro Plus and yes the Node was an improvement. However the BlueOs software is so frustratingly hard to live with day to day I kept the Wiim and bought a separate DAC that gives me a...
  • WiiM Mini just works I bought in a fluke had already decided on a BlueSound Node but the WiiM has PleX support!
  • Bluesound Node
  • If you’re using your own DAC and running everything bit-perfect, what are we really paying for in streamers like the Bluesound Node or HiFi Rose RS250?

I compared the Bluesound Node (newest version) to a Wiim Pro Plus and yes the Node was an improvement. However the BlueOs software is so frustratingly hard to live with day to day I kept the Wiim and bought a separate DAC that gives me a significant improvement over the Node.
