I recently aquierd a Bluesoud Node. It is linked to a Rotel A11 amp using a DALI Oberon 5 pair of speakers. In some frequencies the distortion is unberable and in some cases, like the end of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Suite, Op.20a:III danse des cygnes by berliner philharmoniker, no music just loud static noise. The same track in Spotify, no problem. Using Tidal app transmiting to the rotel via Bluetooth, no problem. On other tracks I've noticed also static noise. How to solve it? Thanks in advance.

  Try listening to Tidal using the headphone socket on both the Node and the amp and see if it still distorts.

  Tryed with headphones on Node and on the amplifier. No distortion, but lousy sound (blame it on the headphones). Tryed again on the speakers and everything sounds fine now. Magic? Maybe. Lets hope for no furher problems. Thank you for your help. Best wishes.
