| BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..? I have a Node 2 as well as an NAD C658. I can detect no difference in SQ when using WiFi vs Ethernet. Like sfgak1 I use ethernet via powerline adapters. A very simple solution vs running ethernet cables over extended distances. | |

| Integrated amps with room correction... The miniDSP DDRC-24 is a great unit. It serves as a pre-amp and DAC and includes Dirac Live room correction. It's has a small footprint. My only knock is that I wish all inputs/outputs were on the back of the unit instead of front & back. The ... |
