| Dead Bluesound Node 2 Like I said, I bought my Nodes (the original square box) on Ebay.They were cheap and are still working.The only thing different with the latest model is that it supports the 5ghz wireless band. Everything else gets updated with firmware.B | |
| Can two subwoofers reduce a bass problem? @OP, Yes, using 2 or more subs help with room nodes.I would PM Duke (audiokinesis), he manufactures the Swarm system.Though I know you probably don't want to invest in that, I think Duke will be able to steer you in the right direction with regard... | |

| Dead Bluesound Node 2 @OP, I own 2 Nodes that I bought 2nd hand on Ebay.Both are working properly, to this day.Thankfully😌.Bluesound customer service has a bit to be desired, but being persistant helps. I know. I had an issue with software that took months to resolve.B... | |

| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers @ianrmack ,I believe mgrif stated it quite well.The Aurender/Codex combo bested the Node/Codex, as well as the Node/Node-no surprise.Just a deeper soundstage, more information, yada yada.Would the OP be happy with the Node onboard DAC- probably, y... | |
| Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob! Some good advice, so far.I, too, was overwhelmed with Streaming music, but a little research yields great results.First, I really like the Spotify app, but unfortunately, they don't offer higher resolution formats like Quobuz, Tidal, et al. So, mo... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers I have heard the Node compared with the Aurender N100 through an Ayre Codex DAC.The Aurender combo was much, much better.I currently use the Node with a Codex, so things are going to change soon. I am just waiting for Aurender to get the ACS100 so... | |

| How to Connect Surge Protector and Power Conditioner @OP, I think Tuberist is trying to give you some sound advice.I installed a surge protector at my Mains, and think it money well spent.Though it is sacrificial, I feel protecting all equipment downstream an important consideration.After that, impl... | |
