What your pick and why, only interested in sound comparison.

Realistically, few people worldwide will have listened to both and so your chances of getting many responses are quite low. This review of the Node Icon is quite interesting though, as it's clearly being compared to the much cheaper WiiM Ultra, and the differences are considered to be very noticeable in favour of the Bluesound (which you'd expect with the price difference):

Bluesound Node Icon: A Streamer Worth Stretching Your Budget For | The Ear

I initially set up the Node Icon in my bedroom via wifi and the listened with the Sendy Peacock headphones that I usually use with a Chord 2Go/Hugo2

This is the A6 (not the master). Looks like a excellent performer.

Couldn't find measurements of the ICON. Hope it improves on the Node: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/bluesound-node-review-streamer.25578/

I believe at this price point and above, measurements are pretty much secondary to usability.
