BLUESOUND NODE ISSUE

Get a grace digital link...it does the same thing (it streams music), has a screen too. its also less than half the price.

I have an OPPO BDP-105 connected through its optical output to the Node 2i digital input using the 3.5mm tosh link adapter.
The selection must be made with the BluOS application, with this it works perfectly for me.

It maybe you've had just ridiculously bad luck with 2 faulty units in succession; you've tried 2 different sources, and cables and the same thing occurs. Have you tried a RCA digital coax to 3.5mm Jack cable instead of optical? Just a thought.

Again, maybe totally irrelevant, but I never power mine down apart from when I'm swapping out gear and cables.

I hope you finally receive a working unit, or get to the bottom of why this is happening; sounds incredibly frustrating. 😤

I’ve never had CD recognition with either unit… switching over automatically.  I think the switch in the App must be used. I do have the handy remote that plays presets. 

No. I never got confirmation about the initial swap out from Crutchfield. I think they do too much volume. But the last Tech sounded like he was going to approach Bluesound on the information… maybe get an answer. 

Prior to the first swap out, I know I had stressed out the Toslink, replaced the cable and thought I had solved it… but it happened again, returned it. The replacement worked just fine on a Denon CD Player…just  got a Sony DVP-S9000ES. Won’t play sound from either the analog plug in, nor the Toslink, mini plugs IN, to the Node. As advised at Crutchfield, I tried the Denon back again, no sound. 
  So, I’ll get my third one on Wednesday… I expect it will work. 
 

I think maybe it’s the POWERING UP that may be confusing it? I turn off ALL COMPONENTS each night with a single switch… but that’s never been an issue before including: APPLE TV (arc), SVS Micro 3000 (sub out), through the Marantz 7025 amp.

Hi

I've had the N130 for about 10 months with my CDT plugged in to analogue/digital input with no issues. If I play a CD, the Node auto-plays from the CDT and overrides the streaming signal. No issues at all.

It seems odd this has happened to you multiple times; my initial thoughts reading yor issue is it maybe a problem with your source component or interconnect used, but I'm sure you would have already thought of this. 

Did you receive confirmation there was a definite fault when you returned your previous Node's? 

i still have 4 bluesound nodes, 2i and newer n130, used em for going 3 years now  - but have no idea what you are talking about... 🤷‍♂️
