Also a quick side note worth mentioning is that Upscale Audio offers an S Booster interface board and coupled with the 5-6 V Sbooster power supply it would be a one stop shop - $379 for the power supply/$149 for the interface board. I have no affiliation with Upscale but have made several purchases from them and they are great to work with. So for $528 and change you can take the next step if you want to explore without sinking to much into the digital journey.
Which LPS is worth it for Bluesound Node 2i?
Has anyone tried using a LPS with a any of the Bluesound Nodes? If so, what options are there and which one gives the most improvement in SQ for the money? Also, where can I get the best price for one if I decide to try one? I’m trying to decide if it’s even worth it for my Node 2i. Any / all feedback greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brett

Just ran across your inquiry and wanted to give you a few thoughts based on my digital journey starting with the BS Node. I had the Node for 6 months and decided I wanted to explore the benefits of digital vs my analog rig. I initially added an LPSU interface for my N130 from PD Creative and an S Booster power supply. I could immediately tell a difference in the overall quality and soundstage. Next step was that I continued to use the Node for streaming but added a Schitt Yggy LIM as my DAC and heard the improvement. Then transitioned the streaming to a Aurender N200 which I bought from the original owner. Net is I improved the digital experience each step. I absolutely agree with the comments from @2psyop above on PD Creative, re the sound and ease of use re the board swap. Even though I have now transitioned 100% from the BS Node, I am glad I went down that path as the listening and learning of the journey greatly helped me with what I was looking for achieve and the incremental steps to get there. |
