Refurbished Bluesound Vault 2

Has anyone purchased a refurbished unit from Bluesound? They have the previous models discounted so curious if they’re actual returned used units of inventory left over. Price savings on the Vault of $400 off doesn’t make sense if I’m going to use another DAC to spend the difference for the current.  $400 isn’t going to break the bank so if anyone has an opinion to spend the money and buy the current unit please share.

Thanks

Only the new models have 5ghz network capability.
+1 on adding a DAC for best sound, but the internal isn't bad for the money-This goes for all models.

@adg,
I didn't mean 5g wireless, but 5ghz wifi signal. There are 2 bands, 2.5 and 5ghz. The latter is less used and offers higher transfer rates, but with a lesser range of coverage.
I got a Netgear 5ghz adapter for my Node 1. It works like a charm.
@Mahler,
No trade in program. Refurbished might have been units they replaced to to some malfunction under warranty.

Faster transfer rates helps with issues of skipping/pops, etc.
