Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...

Thanks for the feedback, y'all... have my main, 2 channel listening system, posted now with relevant pics.

I believe your testimonies answer the question of whether or not the PSU upgrade improves the sound regardless of external DAC input. I, too, love the bluOS as it integrates well with my Roon and has USB output. Also looking forward to the upcoming reviews of the not-yet-released Node Icon.

If I were to upgrade the streamer, I'd prefer one under $2k new but would have to have USB output, Roon ready, and excellent Android(phone) or IOS(iPad pro) app.

Thanks for all your suggestions and options. I think I've narrowed down my future streamer within the Aurender line - based on your experiences and positive critiques. Since I have two Node130s, a Vault at work, and the extra cash I will give one of the 130s an upgrade of the PSU for my main system. If all goes well, I'll relegate that Node to my 2nd system and purchase an Aurender for my main.

Excellent point about my max budget earlier... I would say $2.5k, and have seen a used  Aurender N150 for sale on the 'Gon from what looks to be from a reputable hifi store. I have also looked at Innuos too - it is definitely worth consideration, too.
