@plain_fan you never got the red light of death on your node 2? I’ll never buy another bluesound product after the way they tried to play off a bad design that causes too much heat on the electrolytic capacitors in the bluesound node2, they try to play it off as a firmware update, but I tried everything they Recommended and I ended up finding a forum that said to change two capacitors in the power supply and it worked.
Bluesound Node versions SQ
For those of you with both the 130 and the 132 versions, have you tested the sound quality of just the streamer/transport section and how they sound compared to each other? I'm still streamer researching and wondering if there is a difference when these two units are connected to an outboard DAC. I was thinking if not, then I might consider the older 130 version as it's discounted and then the savings could be applied to an LPS upgrade kit.
I've also been reading that some owners have had issues using the Node's USB output with the Qutest..Thoughts on either subject is appreciated.

@plain_fan my bluesound node 2 was on a shelf with plenty of ventilation, there was a design flaw in the power supply, that causes the two capacitors to get too hot. All you have to do is look at at the design and you can see it isn't very good. There are two power supply capacitors next to a voltage regulator heat sink, a board in front of them and a transformer directly behind them. |
