Life is too short to buy someone else's favorite stereo gear
That is why I would NEVER buy used equipment.  Save up and then buy the newest technology.I agree.  If people are selling their old used gear, their equipment must not be what you would like either.  Being cheap has its price. 
confused and don't know what to do
I would consider Anthem or an ARCAM AV850.i was not impressed with Bowers and Wilkins.  I would add a pair of REL S3 SHO subwoofers.  I like their high level hook up for music and they also are excellent for HT.  They act as Woofers to extend the ...

Why isn’t the dealer helping you? 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
Not sure why rebooting my modem and my Bluesound why this appears to have corrected the problem.  Maybe there is someone who might know the answer to this question.Thanks to all for your help.  As always you are all so helpful. 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
I rebooted my modem and unplugged the power cord from the Bluesound and reconnected it.  It appears this might have solved the problem.  Thanks to all for your help. 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
I will give this a try.  Didn't think I would ever get signal break up because I have my Bluesound hard wired by way of CAT6.

Moving up from a Node 2i
Look at a BelCanto.  Take a look at a better DAC.  It is all about the DAC. 
Advice for a choice
I would buy either a Parasound Integrated amplifier or a ARCAM.  I would also purchase a Bluesound Node 2i streamer.  Marantz is not an audiophile piece.  Marantz is in the league of low end Pioneer from a big box store. 
What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
I purchased a pair of REL S3 SHO subwoofers and followed their break in instructions.  During the first hour I thought I had made a huge mistake, as they sounded really boomy.  That was something I did not want.  However, after following all of th... 
Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact
I purchased my ARCAM from a dealer who sold Focal Arias and I tried to love the 948 Focal Arias, but kept saying where's the bass.  I also listened to Bowers & Wilkins and even their 804's lacked bass.  Not that I like boomy bass speakers, but... 
Getting close to starting the upgrade process...
Buy an integrated Parasound Amplifier and a pair of SALK Song3 Encore speakers.  You will not believe your ears for the money you spent.  SALK sells direct because they don't have to cut their price to dealers and instead use expensive drivers and... 
What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear
I'll give you $5.00 for them.  I can never understand why anyone would own a turn table and records because most of the time you can hear the noise from tracking the needle in the grooves of the record and this is after you freshly clean a record....
