Any Bluesound Node2 owners



       Hello, 
                   I picked up a used Node2, my hope is to get decent sound out of tidal MQA. Maybe some setup tips if ya got any, it arrives on monday, thank.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been mentioned but having lived with a Node2 now for 5 years here's my biggest advice- Ethernet cable!!! The wifi is unstable, unreliable and often frustrating. With ethernet I've had virtually no problems, great streaming and a very good experience. Good luck and enjoy. 
+1 for anyone advocating ethernet over wifi. It's not unlike what I imagine a new DAC would do. Of course, it's all dependent upon you, your gear, etc., but do not ignore this very audible improvement. I'm quite satisfied with the analogue output from my Node 2i after upgrading a couple of cables and one of them ethernet.
I'm currently using the Bluesound Node 2i with NAD M51 DAC.  I'm thinking about upgrading either the power cord, or upgrading the whole power supply to linear (Teddy Pardo and Fidelity Audio in UK offer LPS upgrades).  Any thoughts on these options?
Well, i may be putting another Node2i in another system.
im putting together a 2.0 system with a Parasound Hint6 and a pair of
ML Sequel II’s
my front end analog will be my Denon dp59L
my hope is the internal dac in the parasound, bests the internal in the Node2i
Just FYI: Teddy Pardo has just released an upgrade kit for the new Bluesound Node, replacing the internal PSU with an external one.
