| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. Bright Audio. Still old price $499 plus 10% discount for first order. $450 total. Mine was drop shipped from the distributor in about a week. | |
| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. I'm used to vinyl, CD and radio. They're all coherent and tonally balanced. I tried Joplin, Traffic, Canned Heat, Quicksilver Messinger Service, Beatles and Portishead that I have on vinyl and Qobuz got thumped soundly. I know tipped up from a... | |
| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. Could be but Tunein Radio uses the Orchid without a problem. The only difference between that and Qobuz is the stream source. The hardware chain is identical. My system is quite sensitive to cables and front end so I'm going with that. It's li... | |
| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. Yes, I did delete the app and use BluOS. I had CD and Hi -res next to the songs. Pardon my confusion but the sound being tipped up was a deal killer anyway. Good to know it does stream direct from the web though. Thanks out to all you responde... | |
| Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know. Maybe the title should read "What I need to know". I did sign into Qobuz under music services and it worked but the sound was tipped up, edgy and bright at times. Cymbals were Loud and Forward. Vinyl, CD and Tunein all sound great. I had read... | |
| Acoustic Zen MC2 110 ohm? I’m using the MC2 between a Node 2i and an MHDT Orchid and it sounds great. A huge improvement over the internal DAC. The MC2 is big and needs about 6 inches clearance behind the unit to make a bend. The 2i has limited room around the RCA jack ... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass For the beginner - Don’t get so caught up in the "bass array" hype that you don’t even try a single sub. A single quality sub in the right spot will be significantly better than no sub. Work on the array when you can afford it. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers I'm an old die-hard vinylphile and the 2i is my first adventure in streaming. I was an outsider looking in, researching what's best, what's necessary, what could I afford and what the heck is going with this new (to me) tech. I jumped in and got... | |
| How many times have you ... That makes the touting of “original master tapes” as the source of dubious value except to the hot stamper crowd. The lack of talent or technique in the pressing is keeping us from original copy quality which is readily available regardless of th... | |

| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? cantorgale -With $12k speakers, $1k subs, and a $700 CD surely you can think of better ways to spend $30k. | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I would bet that someone at the factory called someone about a paint job, they said “sure”, who then called someone else who called someone else who called someone else etc and the $1500 paint job middle-manned itself Up to $27k. I’ve seen it done. | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: barkey -Why wait? Bright Audio sells the 2i at the old $499 price plus gives you 10% off that. $450 delivered to San Diego in about 10 days, shipped directly from the distributor. Six weeks now and loving it. One glitch. The iPad app tone control ... | |
| Transmit to sub The word you are looking for is latency. My REL wireless sub has a latency of 8 ms (milliseconds) with no audible distraction. My headphones with 50 ms latency definitely echo the tv speakers. Check the latency spec on the bluetooth. Lower is ... | |
