Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good

Sounds flat vs streaming from marantz 5014 heos, which is more revealing and open.  Both ways are wired.
Is there a break in period?  Otherwise it is disappointing.

I am listening thru b&w spkrs and mcintosh amp. And wired to analogue inputs of avr

thanks for any comments, suggestions

Listen to the music on it for awhile, you may find you like it. If not, return the 2i and get your $550 back if your receiver's streamer/dac rocks, its good to have options..

2i sounds great on my system.

A big improvement is to be had using Supra CAT 8+ ethernet cable. A 2-meter cable runs $59 including shipping from seller zendada on eBay.  Many lengths available.

Although its advertised as CAT 8+, that is a bit of advertising license, its really CAT 8, but made a big difference with my 2i.
