Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i

@vinylshadow Yes it is worth while especially paired with a good LPS. Much more refined sound and lower noise floor. I bought the one from Poland on eBay.

@vinylshadow I've used a few different LPS. Tried the Uptone LPS 1.2, Paul Haynes SRT4, and Mojo Illuminati. They are all fantastic and didn't notice a huge difference TBH. I have my best PC's on my DAC, Amp and Conditioner so unfortunately the LPS gets the cheapest cord but still performs great. If you don't have a switch or some sort of filter for your Ethernet connection I'd recommend putting some attention in that area as that is going to make a huge improvement for the Bluesound as well.

@vinylshadow Wired Ethernet connection made a massive difference for me. I use the Amazon Eero mesh system so placement is a breeze as you’ll just need an open outlet near and then you can run a Ethernet cable to the Node 2i. Ethernet cables make a big difference too. I currently use Network Acoustics ENO filter and Ag cable. Even with the $55 shipping Pawel’s board is well worth it. I forgot to mention that if your are using an external DAC the iFi SPDIF Purifier 2 is a nice addition at a cost effective price.-Alex

@vinylshadow The Eero has Ethernet plugs on the back. As far as the iFi SPDIF Purifier 2 you can also use it with an LPS which is what I am doing. I’m currently using a Mojo Illuminati but it’s a pricey power supply. I’m sure the less expensive ones you are looking at will perform just fine. The great thing about the Eero and iFi is buying them from Amazon is risk free so if you don’t hear any difference just return them. Once you can hear the difference you can start playing with cables such as Ethernet, PC’s and DC’s (the ones going from the LPS to your components). 
Happy tweaking! Last thing: Always try each tweak one at a time so you are hearing what each is doing. You might like what one product is doing compared to others.

@vinylshadow Find a dealer that carries Lumin or any other high-end streamers to demo. You will find out if the difference is worth it compared to the upgraded Bluesound. 

@big_greg Unless you had a chance to try the upgraded PSU board you might be surprised the potential of Pawel's board + LPS. There's a 150+ page thread on highfiwigwam with people who have done the upgrade and compared to other streamers. I think everyone of them kept the Node 2i.

@big_greg @vinylshadow There are two main weaknesses of the Bluesound when used strictly as a streamer which is noise and jitter. The PSU fixes the noise part and iFi SPDIF Purifier 2 fixes the jitter. I'm partial to R2R DACs so not interested in the Node 2i for it's DAC.

@vinylshadow I don't have any experience with the other PSU so can't comment but I'm very happy with Pawel's board. I actually have a lot more invested with my Mojo Illuminati LPS costing more than all those products combined. Also, Ethernet is your true source so investing in a good switch or filter (for the Eero) is where I would start. Your streamer can only do so much with a noisy source. Look up the Network Acoustics ENO thread and you will know what I mean. 

I was lucky to have a dealer loan me a $10k streamer so I could compare and believe it or not I preferred the Bluesound presentation. Enjoy the process in exploring digital as you will be very surprised by how much everything matters. However the beauty is you don't have to spend a King's ransom to get great sound!
