Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ?

I installed the PD Creative power board mod with a MeanWell SMPS. After 120 hours burn-in it really sounds great.  I’m thinking about getting the Sbooster LPS for additional improvements but am curious if anyone found significant improvement from upgrading to the Lumin U1 Mini, perhaps with Sbooster. Or other streamer.

Did you upgrade from a Node 2i power supply board upgrade with a LPS to something else?

Wrong jlss the node21 I’s a decent streamer but for most modern dacs the node 2i will not derive the best sounding digital most modendacs will want to be driven by usb

Asyncronous data transfer lowers jitter

 

And you need usb to do so

 

You will be amazed at the difference

 

We only recomend servers or streamers that offer usb or ethernet data transmision

Yes there are devices that can or may sound great via other methods however in our tests a properly implimented Usb interface is the only way to go

A computer is not a properly implimented usb device

You need a dedicated purpose designed device to do so
