I recently bought a Ifi Zen Stream for 180€ second hand, and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo costs around 130€.Never heard the Bluesound, but I hope your last statement was in jest, else you maybe should not be on ASR …The WiiM is audibly transparent, is the Bluesound? If yes, then only reason you would spend more on Bluesound is looks and features, not for better sound. If Bluesound not transparent, well, I let you come to your own conclusion where you want to spend your hard earned money.
The Focusrite DAC section is excellent and you’ll have a better sound than even the Node X, or at least the same quality. Only connect them with a simple USB A to USB C cable and that’s all (Focusrite is class compliant, you don’t have to setup the interface: it will reproduce automatically what it sounds on the streamer)
