Seen the news about Peachtree and Bluesound partnership?


Just read that Peachtree Audio and Bluesound have formed some kind of a new partnership. I'd assume that this will mean that future Peachtree integrated amps will come with Bluesound streaming as a part of the package. If so, and if the price is right, this could be pretty cool, I'm thinkin'.

Especially as I've been looking to set up an office system without breaking the bank.

Any thoughts about what this partnership may offer going forward?

Thanks.

Hopefully, the new Bluesound stuff will stream better than what they currently have.   I have had so many problems with the three I own, I am now looking for new Roon Endpoints.  Streaming AAC files are okay but streaming hi res WAV files or FLAC files is impossible.
@gjrad The problems I had with BlueSound and Roon was over WiFi.  The two Node2's and Vault 2's had a lot of problems with Roon, to the point where the Roon acknowledged the problem as well as BlueSound.  When BS came out with the Node2i, they dropped Roon Endpoint compatibility listing in their features.   For a while I ran a 100 foot Ethernet cord from my router to the Node2 but that didn't help either.   All of this started when BS did two firmware upgrades, nothing worked after that, although it did work pretty well prior to that.  This was only a BS and Roon compatibility problem, the BS application almost always worked without a hitch.  The problem is the WiFi part of the Node2 and Vault2, according to the manufacturer "it isn't as robust as communication via a dedicated line".    It's too bad, really, the Node and Vault are perfect solutions and fill a solid notch in the marketplace.  I have no idea if Node2i would work with Roon via Ethernet but I sure am not going to try!  I'd like to find a equivalent replacement for the Node 2 that works with Roon over WiFi but so far I have not.  Well, at least in the Node 2 price point range.
