I will order one.Which linear power supply did you get? Are y... | |

Supposed to make a big difference to sonics...That is my next project when my Node 2i arrives. Good stuff on the power cables. I've heard a lot of good thi... | |
| "Real" streamer vs. Bluetooth adapter--what's the advantage? I just got a Bluesound Node 2i as it has TIDAL select so I can use my Android as the controller through the cloud to the Node 2i.... I'll be using WiFi and from all that I researched and read users posts, there are no sonic advantages to an Ethern... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? I just bought a Node 2i for its TIDAL Select support to use with my Classe's DAC. I figure in a year there will be bigger and better stuff. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? 16/44.1 can sound very good. In my car at least it sounds symphonic with TIDAL, although it helps to have a great system with active crossover speakers etc....But at home it can sound great as well. A 24/96 DAD can sound incredible. But even with ... | |

| Would you Upgrade? As someone with a Classe SSP-800 and JM Lab Mezzo Utopia's for the last 12 years with no desire to upgrade, I can unequivocally say that Classe and Focal(JM Labs) work together. However my amps are Jeff Rowland Model 12 MonoBlocks. | |

| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC Yes. With their DAC. But I read that if you use the SPDIF digital coax out, only 24/96. Bluesound's website does not clarify. If I am wrong then I'd sure like to know! | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC Great question. That is exactly where I'm at now. I want to upgrade to a streamer and use my Classe SSP-800's DAC. I thought about the Node 2i but if you use an external DAC you only get 24/96 out of the Node. I was looking at the Bryston BDP-π ... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I have Straight Wire Crescendo speaker cables from 2009 between my Rowland Model 12’s and JM Lab Mezzo Utopia’s and Crescendo balanced interconnects between my Model 12’s and Classe SSP-800 processor/DAC. They all sound very good but the cables ar... | |
