When using the Node 2, does one eliminate the need for a PC or library software?Yes. You can plug an external hard drive right into the back of the Node 2. It will also find a NAS on your home LAN system.
Bluesound Node 2 question
I am posting this here instead of the PC Audio forum, because that one has tumbleweeds blowing through it most of the time.
When using the Node 2, does one eliminate the need for a PC or library software? I am currently using Jriver on my PC with music stored on an external drive streaming to a Chromecast Audio into an external DAC. Is there a way to connect the 1 TB hard drive directly to the Node 2 and eliminate everything else? I know it's a streamer, but unsure exactly what it's functionality is beyond that basic thing. Or do I still need the Jriver server software on the PC as a library?
Thx in advance
