Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i

@vinylshadow Yes it is worth while especially paired with a good LPS. Much more refined sound and lower noise floor. I bought the one from Poland on eBay.

Thanks Alex. I was looking at the interface card and switching power supply on Pawel's website but wanted a linear power supply so great that he sells the interface separately. I will order one.
Which linear power supply did you get?

Are you using an upgraded power cable?

I was considering the Triode Wire Labs Digital American. I am using Pete's High Power Dig. American for my UberBuss power conditioner...While it might be the way to go, a $500 power cable for a $540 Node 2i deserves some thought.

The Wireworld Mini Electra that many use and recommended is $160.

Wonder if there is a big difference besides the price?

@vinylshadow I've used a few different LPS. Tried the Uptone LPS 1.2, Paul Haynes SRT4, and Mojo Illuminati. They are all fantastic and didn't notice a huge difference TBH. I have my best PC's on my DAC, Amp and Conditioner so unfortunately the LPS gets the cheapest cord but still performs great. If you don't have a switch or some sort of filter for your Ethernet connection I'd recommend putting some attention in that area as that is going to make a huge improvement for the Bluesound as well.

Thanks Alex-
I will be using WiFi as my router is upstairs hooked up to my desktop. Unless it is easy to get one for downstairs. Does ethernet make a huge improvement to sonics? I’ve read many times that it does not. That the ethernet advantages have to do with something else that I cannot recall.

The guy who sold me my Node 2i recommended this company’s LPS’s:https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/collections/linear-power-supplies

I think for the power cable from the LPS I’ll use this $160 cable:https://www.thecableco.com/mini-electra-power-cord.html

I wouldn’t mind the Triode Wire Labs Digital American. They end with a Figure 8 if you want it... But it costs as much as the Node 2i!

I went on EBay to order Pawel’s LPS adapter but shipping was $55. But I might not have a choice!
Pawel’s lower power LPS is not out yet but I am curious. Might be better to wait and see how much shipping is for the adapter and his LPS.

@vinylshadow Wired Ethernet connection made a massive difference for me. I use the Amazon Eero mesh system so placement is a breeze as you’ll just need an open outlet near and then you can run a Ethernet cable to the Node 2i. Ethernet cables make a big difference too. I currently use Network Acoustics ENO filter and Ag cable. Even with the $55 shipping Pawel’s board is well worth it. I forgot to mention that if your are using an external DAC the iFi SPDIF Purifier 2 is a nice addition at a cost effective price.-Alex
