Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2

I have a bluesound node 2 connected to my high-end stereo system (Krell amp, Thiel speakers) in my living room. I am getting the Vault 2i to replace it, plus house all my CDs (over 1000). I have a second stereo system in my bedroom (Nad amp, Polk speakers) which I use with a grace digital Internet radio. Would there be any advantage for me to replace the grace Internet radio with the node 2? Can the node 2 and the vault “talk” to each other so that I can play my burned CDs from the vault in my bedroom? Any other suggestions of what I can do with both devices would be gratefully appreciated.

I suggest rip on your computer for ease of tagging and editing. Put the files on portable SSD’s. You can pick up the 2T for ~$200. Plug them into a streamer that shows up on your computer like my Synology does (BlueSound doesn’t) and transfer that way.
Sounds better than the Synology. And indexes new tracks much faster too.
Electric bill goes down 16 watts retiring the Synology.
As far as WiFi, if you don't want to go Node just plug it into a $30 extender.
But don't bother with the BluSound WiFi.
They drop connection way too much already wired.
