So I purchased a Bluesound Node X with the hope that it would improve my streaming experience and overall listening experience. It really hasn’t.
I use Amazon Music and other than some minor conveniences (like not interrupting music when a call comes in) I’m not sure it was worth the $750. The sound from the Laptop via USB sound fuller and just as detailed as the Node and it seems like its just another piece of equipment I don’t really need. Am I missing something?
The high res version may be of a different mastering so if you want to check if you can hear any difference you need to make sure both is from the same master to compare.
I’m listening to the same version, the airplay version is always converted to 44.1/16.
