DAC comparison: Bluesound Node 2i and SGCD

[Elk]

@stevensegal

I had a Bluesound. I sold it as I found it lacklustre with better speakers.

Interesting, given you were very pleased with the Bluesound a few months back and decidedly disagreed with me when I opined “I find the sound veiled and a bit dark.” What changed?

@stevensegal

I use Bluesound with very revealing speakers way above its pay grade ($7,100 new) and it is extremely competent, so that in my assessment there is no need to spend 2 or 3 times as much on electronics (whether PS Audio or anything else).
