I like Michael Green’s suggestion.A streamer plus a Tidal subscription is another good option.  So much music to explore for such a small investment. 
Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component"

Speakers for Leben CS300XS
Proac D30R or Devore 0/96 are both outstanding.  Smaller versions of those two brands, the D20R and 0/93 should also sound great but I have not heard them.  You have one of my favorite amps that I don’t own.  If I had to start all over again, the ... 
Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage?
My Node 2i is on the 5ghz network about 30 feet from the router.  No drop outs ever encountered.My Vault 2 in another system is just 3 feet from the router and of course Ethernet Wired.If it’s easy to connect wired, why not.  Otherwise, I find wir... 
B&W Concept 90 CM2 bass module needs new crossover or replacement - thoughts?
Have you removed the crossover network from the speaker?  If so, take a photo.  You can contact members bigkidz or grannyring as they have posted regarding speaker crossover mods and electronic repair.  Perhaps one of them can assist you with repair. 
Streaming music- not the end all music solution but one main advantage?
It’s fun to read the music reviews in TAS and Stereophile, then immediately access the albums via Tidal.  Every so often I find a gem.  Then there are the majority that I’m glad I didn’t purchase which was the reality prior to Tidal.  There’s no s...

Why not just request a new volume control? 
Tube amp Low end Bass question
I have tube amps and dual subs.  I use the subs speaker level inputs.  The signal is sourced directly from the main speakers terminal via an additional length of the same speaker cable used for the main speakers. 
Considering a Node2i, what else should I be looking at?
Then there are others such as myself that have no problems with the updates nor any other operational issues with the Node 2i.  Set up and ease of use are exemplary.  It sounds fantastic in my big system.  I will say that being powered through my ... 
What area or country do you live in ?
Winter home in the east valley of metro Phoenix AZ.  Summer home in the beautiful White Mountains of northern AZ.  It’s nice to visit snow in the winter, then return to the desert.  Summers are no fun in the desert.

I just noticed only the cd version returned.  No MQA.  Better than nothing though. 
Eric Bibb “Global Griot” removed from Tidal due to streaming
I am happy to report this excellent album has returned to Tidal.  Some form of agreement or monetary exchange with the record label would be my guess for the return.

Change the preamp.  JPL is like chocolate syrup. 
Streaming Question....
Wireless works great.  The Bluetooth apt x hd is superior to regular Bluetooth.I have streamed some audio from you tube and was pleasantly surprisedity by the sound quality. I think you would be pleased with the Node 2i. 
Eric Bibb “Global Griot” removed from Tidal due to streaming
The entire album was removed because the record label for this album does not permit streaming.  So, I suspect Tidal received a cease and desist order to remove it.Even worse, the only source I found for this album was a 24/96 flac file at Acousti...
