Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i

The Bryston can be had for close to the same price as the Bluesound Node 2i (within a couple hundred $).  Not using the internal DAC.  Do you think the Bryston would be better than the Bluesound?

  • Used and abused?
  • The BDP-i is almost triple the MSRP of a 2i.
  • I don’t know how good a DAC you need to hear the difference. If you use anything besides Room or Tidal the Bryston looks to leave you high and dry like a WY Great Basin dust storm.
  • Even if you use Tidal, BlueSound has Tidal Connect already.

If you’re doing Roon just get a Metrum.
As new as fresh snow.
Get as much as you wanna spend from $400 up. They come with internal power.
With Roon, do not orry about control apps.
The Baby sounds almost as good as a tricked out Allo for more money.
