I haven't followed the last bits of this thread, but as far the new Bluesound streamers go, WHF seems to be in a group of one. Every other professional review I've read/watched suggested the new Nano/Node has a wider soundstage and overall better sound than the Wiims. But here we are. So I think the user should audition if possible.

Slightly (?) different price points on the products though - i.e. the Node Icon looks to be 2.5x the Ultra

I know it was.
Just a case of being patient, something like that is never going to go unreviewed.
(Took a while for the same site to do their Ultra review too).

Funny, this reviewer thought the RCA output was superior to the balanced XLR.
As I mentioned last, one reviewer thought the RCA output sounded better, so maybe it's not an issue.

Odd, and difficult to explain.
I can think of no reason why it should be. Perhaps the issue is what you are actually connected to, and the reviewer himself I suppose.
a balanced XLR should be as good or better.
