Bluesound Node help

I think the ARC from your tv should provide the best sound input to your node, but toslink optical should also work.

I also struggled with the Bluesound  app.

I now listen to tv etc with toslink direct to my DAC and 2 channel rig.  It sounds better than my old surround system.

Bluesound is one of the few streaming product companies that fully support the product. I have had dealings with them on different connectivity questions and have always got the correct answer and issues solved. It’s not always plug and play, because frankly it does so much.

Fwiw I used to own Bluesound and found its operation to frequently be counterintuitive.  My Cambridge Audio streamer is much easier to use 

I will get working on it and order the adapter. It looks like the website support will be a big help. It sure is not like hooking up old fashioned receivers and all analogue components which I am used to doing. Thank you!

The adapter is a Toslink Female to 3.5 mm. The Nodes input is 3.5 mm like a mini headphone jack

The Node and your phone or Tablet need to be on the same network.  If you are using a WiFi repeater make sure they are both on the same network 

I believe your node uses the same optical input as my Vault.    You need a Toslink to mini Toslink adapter.   It uses what is a combo analog / digital jack for its input. 

Then you just have to go in the menu to activate it as a digital input.  

Go to Customize Sources under Settings.  Choose Player , then Customize Sources

Tell it you have a digital input and it should work 

Bluesound has a web site with a support section.  The web site also has a community forum where you can post questions and their tech people monitor it.
