@rocray The Teddy Pedro PS upgrade looks really nice but I just can’t justify spending anymore (much less $500) on tweaking my Node2i. I have a Cat8, Cullen power cord and a Cardas lightning 15 digi coax to a external Dac (ARC 7) and while I’m pretty happy with it, I’m still hunting for a streamer that fills the gap between the BS Node and Lumin Mini.
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?

So, a little late on this input, but here it is. I went to https://pd-cf.com/produkt/bluesound-node-2-2i-upgrade-low-noise-psu-interface/, which is the PD Creative website in Poland. I am an Aerospace engineer myself, so I asked a number of questions before buying the PS replacement. I ordered the upgrade kit without power supply and installed it in my personal Node 2i. I used a 5volt Sbooster's BOTW LPS that I already owned to power it. I have to say I was able to hear an immediate improvement in noise level and clarity. This was a worthwhile investment for me. YMMV. |
i posted this question to others on this thread, have not received any answers for those who did the power supply upgrade on your node 2i, is the improvement you heard in the digital output clarity -- or is the improvement at the analog output? in answering, please describe the rest of your system - dac (if applicable), amp, speakers in particular thanks in advance |
