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.

@llary - You can improve the sound of the Bluesound considerably - if you use good power cable and IC's - to the point where a separate DAC is no longer required. Good power cables are the best bang for the buck

All my Bluesound devices have great cables and perform brilliantly!

WRT UPDATES: If you miss an update on a unit it generally goes into update mode the next time you turn it on - it's very simple
- Or you can click on the HELP - UPDATE menu items on the BluOS software interface to update immediately
- DO NOT power the unit off during an update.

Also, someone mentioned the Bluesound Wifi is not that good
- I have heard this many times and I am left puzzled
- My wireless router is in the basement and I can get the Pulse Mini to work flawlessly in the garden (some 80 ft away) even at 24/192
- I think id depends on the wireless router you have and NOT the Bluesound unit
- some neighbours installed repeaters - which seem to be required IF oyu are using the wireless router installed by your service provider
- I installed my ow router

If oyu want to know more about cables I can recommend some
