@evank  Your feedback on the U2 mini would be very valuable. The windows issue is not mine. I would use an iPhone of iPad. Thanks

@markmuse  please give me your thoughts on the mini.Changed my mind… still in the running. Thanks

This was easy… going with a used or potentially new N150. Was reading other streaming discussions in addition to this one. This particular OP also owned a Qutest and was questioning whether it could keep up. The discussion was N150 vs U2. He went ...

BTW, listening to Diana Kroll in HR right now. Sounds magical! Thanks again for all your outstanding recommendations!

Thanks, that’s the plan. My new USB cable just arrived. I had attached the node via USB to my MM2. Moving from USB C to B with the Qutest.
