Complete opposite experience on my end with the Bluesound Node 2i. Also came from Sonos, which I still use in other areas of the home, but like you, wanted better streaming options. My Node 2i has been rock solid, sound quality is definitely way better than Sonos and I personally like the Bluesound App. Just my two cents
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
I am looking for your help. We recently switched from Sonos to BlueSound to get higher streaming rates. So far we have had consistent problems and issues(!!). Specifically, about 50% of the time my and my wife's BlueSound app does not recognize the Node 2i's. When I delete the app, reinstall it and reconnect the Nodes, we again have the same problems at least 50% of the time. It is simply a joke of a product and I find we are not alone. I have tried just about everything.
Also, when I go online to get help, I find that I am not alone and there is a tsunami of negative (to the degree of very hostile) comments about BlueSound and for the most part it is the same issue. I have tried just about everything and I am about to simply trash/sell mine and go back to Sonos. If I do go back to Sonos, I will also leave a stream of bad comments on every forum I can since going back to Sonos will represent a big financial loss to me simply because Bluesound is an irresponsible/deceptive company at my expense.
Alternatively, I just want it to reliably work. Do you you have and advice and/or guidance to get Bluesound to reliably work? Is there a better alternative to to get higher bit rates thank Bluesound?
Thank you in advance for your help. Dave
