Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
@rareace The Node 2i compared favorably to an expensive streamer. Great to know. I’m psyched!I will definitely think about the Ethernet. Thanks for your advice.As far as the Eero router, is this the one you are talking about? https://www.amazon.co...

@rareace @big_greg I’ve been corresponding with Pawel and he told me that he will soon be updating his website(and maybe EBay?) and will be lowering the shipping costs for his PSU adapter to the U.S.. The UK company Fidelity Audio also makes a No...

@jetter  @ericsch Thanks guys.I should be getting my Node 2i next week so I'll see how it goes. One thing about WiFi signal to downstairs is I've been using a Google Chromecast dongle in my processors WiFi, getting the WiFi signal from the upstair...

@jetter Thanks jetter.I told the dealer who sold me the Node 2i, and has one himself in an amazing audiphile system, about my plans for the PSU interface and the LPS. He replied that he thinks I am using a sledgehammer for a nutcracker. British hu...

@big_greg Thanks for the selection..Even though I have a Node 2i on the way, I'll look into the Lumin's..I have such a great DAC in my processor that it bothers me to buy a streamer with a DAC as it is like an appendix. Don't need it. I wish there...

@ big_gregIf not the Node 2i, which streamer did you wind up getting if I may ask?  
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
@rareace I’ll have to look into Ethernet once again. I could have sworn that the consensus was ethernet and wifi offer the same sonics...Although I don’t see an Ethernet plug in the eero. Just a wifi hub. ..,.I always thought you had to have the p... 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
@rareace Thanks Alex-I will be using WiFi as my router is upstairs hooked up to my desktop. Unless it is easy to get one for downstairs. Does ethernet make a huge improvement to sonics? I’ve read many times that it does not. That the ethernet adva...

@rareace Thanks Alex. I was looking at the interface card and switching power supply on Pawel's website but wanted a linear power supply so great that he sells the interface separately. I will order one.Which linear power supply did you get? Are y... 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
Has anyone here pimped out their Node 2i with a PSU interface card and Linear power supply? 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.
