Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?


Hi guys, 

I was toying with upgrading my Bluesound Node (2021) power supply with the Teddy Pardo upgrade kit; around £400 with shipping to UK.

I was wondering if anyone here has done this, and was there a significant improvement to SQ?

I don't use the DAC in my Node, I use a Denafrips Ares II; with this in mind, would the TP upgrade be worth the money, or would I be better off putting the money aside and going for an upgrade to the Node further down the line i.e. a dedicated, stand alone streamer?

Thanks very much

 do you have a link to Alvin's original post

It was an Email question I had sent to Alvin.

 I just ordered A Musician Pegasus made in the same factory 

as Denafrips [a long story] close model wise to the Pontus II.

Might be awhile getting here.

Just a heads up,

since the OP stated he was using an Aries II w/ the Node 2i.

This is Alvins [Denafrips] response.

"Coax pairing of the Node with Ares II, the 192khz was not able to decode. It could be matching/compatibility of the two devices. You may use OPT."
