Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!


I got the BSN to run to my NAD M51 DAC and everything sound like the treble has been turned up +10db. The bass is also weak. I use Qobuz and Tidal and both sound the exact same way. I can listen to cd’s  is my Oppo of the same music with no problem. 
 

what gives, is it really this bad?

Thiel speakers can be really revealing of the source, maybe more than any speakers I've heard yet.  In my system they sounded good with my digital source, but a little like you described with my analog source.  Too bright.  I think your issue probably has more to do with your speakers and electronics than the Node.

the node is decent sounding devicehowever a better server does improve the sound quality in a very audibile way

 

we are streaming specialists and sell the node roon nucleus and 432evo servers servers as well as a few others the idea that bits is bits is a fallacy the difference in a streamer can dramatically improve the sound comming from the dac

 

to date we have tested auraylic aurender Inous sotm  modified mac minis and a few others the 432evo servers have proven to sound better theprevious servers and allow for mode lto model upgading

It's funny, below Troys name is Audiointellect NJ, and I have never considered him that way. 

I have the N130 and it sounds great. Although the first thing I had to do was turn off the volume control in the app. It made a huge difference in the sound quality.

All the best.
