USB output on latest Bluesound Node

@dinosore Thank you for catching my mistake; my Node is indeed an N130.

Sorry for the bad info!

Just for grins, try a different cable.

There is only the usb port right below Ethernet port, that is what I am  using.

Sounds like you know what you're dealing with but I'll ask just in case:  are you sure you aren't plugged into a USP port that is an input port for firmware upgrades?  I think the old nodes had that.

Best of luck

@rhtowson I'd like to know how you got your Node 2i to work with USB output, since that feature was added to the next generation, the N130. Are you sure of your model number?

Similar experience to @jzzmusician - my Bluesound Node 2i was originally connected via coax to the DA1 DAC in my MAC7200.

I updated the player from the app, unplugged the power cable from the player, removed the coax, connected the USB and powered up. The Node is working nicely via USB.

USB functionality works only with the Node 2i, NOT the Node 2.

I didn't really do anything.  I ran the update from the app and then the usb worked. 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I did unplug it and remove the coax and still no sound. I also did go into the  setup menu and changed some settings with no results. Bluesound did mention that some drivers may need to installed, I would assume they mean in my Oppo 205, well good luck with that.

This is ridiculous.  This is like the third generation of this product with a USB out and they have bugs in it?  That’s an embarrassment.

I have the same Node.  I was told to unplug it, remove the coax and hook up the USB cable.  It worked for me. Somewhere in the menu section of the app are also some settings.  USB sounded better on my system.
