This was a great solution to my particular use cases. I have several systems throughout my home, but only have ethernet cable in one room. I use Roon for streaming, want a lossless signal, and want to listen to my Focal Stellias throughout the house. One of my systems (based around a Hegel H-300 amp) does not have a headphone jack, but does have a built-in DAC. So, I bought two Bluesound Nodes: The first one allows me to listen to my Focals in my bedroom using Roon and Wi-fi. The second one pairs with the Hegel, allowing me both headphone access and wi-fi Roon through the Hegel's DAC. Is the sound as pristine as my main systems? No, but it's pretty darn close...much better than should be expected at this price - the build quality and finish is excellent as well. If you are a Roon user with any of my use-case characteristics, I recommend this highly. My only asks for future versions would be more flexibility in headphone jacks, and DSD support. One note: I only used the Bluesound app for setup (which was simple). Beyond that I exclusively use the Roon app.

Really love this unit and especially at this price point. I use primarily with Qobuz and I have been really pleased. Again, at this price point, tough to walk past.
