Node X


Anyone had a chance to hear the Node X and compare it to the N130? I am thinking of trying one to dip my toe in streaming for the first time.

Wireless. The room where I inserted it is not anywhere close to where my router is so I cannot use an ethernet cable.

@dz13 You can if you run a Mesh system or Wi-Fi extender, then you can run an Ethernet or CAT7 or 8 cable from that to your Node.  Many here do this if they can’t run a cable from their router and frequently report significant improvements in fewer dropouts and/or sound quality.  Also, I’d recommend doing a free trial of Qobuz over Tidal once your Node is more broken in (at least 100 hours) as most here prefer it.  I switched to Qobuz from Tidal and will never go back or deal with MQA intrusive black box algorithms and unfolding silliness ever again.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.
