I just switched from the Node first generation to the latest Node and the difference to me was a more relaxed presentation l

Sorry Marco how about OPTICAL vs Coax.

Cant answer about Usb because I do not use it.

Thanks.  Just spent the last hour reading through. Seems like problems with usb out are still ongoing.  Too bad a company of this size cannot come up with a reliable fix after 6 months.

Marco I didn't know it was that long. Guess I'm lucky that I don't use USB

I don't know if your concerns about the USB connection has anything to do with the recent firmware update but after reading the Bluesound forum there seems to be a bug with the latest update and the USB connection. They are looking into it. Shouldn't stop you from purchasing one if you do not already have one. At least you have a big company to support the product.

I use an external dac. MHDT Orchid. The more relaxed presentation could be the new Node I am using coaxil connection verse the Spdif connection on the original Node. Only have the new Node for a few days so I have not given it my full attention yet to make.anymore comparisons

If you go to the forum the first page has some users asking various questions about Usb
