@hilde45 Less than $200 all in. Easy to install. The power supply is available on Amazon. The power supply cord I got on eBay. The AC power cord I had made was a Cullen. As it’s broken in, everything I play off the node( streaming and files) has improved dramatically. Extremely quiet….spooky as compared to without the supply. This has taken some time to break in, buts it’s noticeable even on back ground music playing. It’s held me off on buying a new streamer and was fun to install.
Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?
I mean...by improving its components, not with a YOUR preferred streamer brand...;-)
Sure, you can upgrade the C-7 power cord. We all get that.
But, what about the power supply.
I only see 3 options:
1. Fidelity in UK
2. Some dude in Poland selling on eBay
3. Rumors of Teddy Pardo making one for the Node 2i.
It has to be DIY for the first two and not really what I'm looking to do with my streamer - I mean, if i'm going to to a DIY LPS upgrade, I'd like it to be easier to buy.
Anybody know anything or actually made it work?

@hilde45 Probably more with the power cords but close. |
@jjss49 I run mine thru a McIntosh D 150 dac. And yes it is nice! So nice I just bought a Nordost Valhalla digital interconnect to connect the node to the dac. I thought it’s now worthy of a good digital cable. |
Just to put in my 2 cents worth, I got the PD Creative update from Poland and installed it in a node2. It then requires an out board linear power supply which I didn’t know when I did it.. however I got one from Amazon and installed a synergistic black fuse, and used a thick shielded 2.5mm cable to hook the power supply to the node. Let me tell you this is no joke! It was like a new component. Crystal clear, excellent sound stage, and “dead” I mean “dead quiet”.I can’t believe this made such a huge difference. Highly recommended. |
