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.

Hi, llarry,
I use a Bluesound Node 2 via Wi-Fi for a small system in the bedroom as well as a Node 2i in my main stereo system using an Ethernet connection. I stream digital files from a NAS drive and really enjoy having access to all my ripped CDs and Hi-Res downloads. But I don't have experience streaming from a Vault. Having the Vault 2i connected via Ethernet should help.

The Wi-Fi capabilities were pretty bad with BluOS for a while but got much better in the past 6 months, at least in my experience. Far fewer drop-outs, even with a "FAIR" Wi-Fi connection to the Node 2. But again, that's streaming from a NAS drive, not a Vault. Try it though and you might find that it works just fine.
