Bluesound Node 2

[Alexdad54]

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in the DAC's in the Node 2 and Powernode 2?

 

I really enjoy my Node 2 but would like to move to either active speakers or the Powernode but I don't want to lose the sound I enjoy from the Node 2 (my CA 752BD universal player also has the same DAC as the Node 2).

 

I've looked around the Web but all I can find is from Bluesound's own description " Bluesound’s 32-bit architecture combined with 8x oversampling, paired with our own innovative HybridDigital™ Amp and DAC platforms..."

There are a number of images available of the interior of the Node 2 that clearly show the BurrBrown PCM 5122 chips but nothing I can find so far that shows much of the inside layout of the Powernode 2. I'm not able to tell anything from the single small picture of the board on the Bluesound Powernode 2 website page.
