Any Bluesound Node2 owners

Which DAC is favorable with the BlueSound price

Since im using analog connection to my Denon which is the way I usually check sampling rates ect. Can i check output using the Node’s app ?? Just to be sure im choosing the right MQA. As of now its Tidal, i may do a free trial on Qobuz

Big Greg,
    Ur killin me, i laughed for awhile at your post :0)
    I got it wired LAN. Zero’d out tone controls, she’s glowing blue and my Eero router says its connected!
    Im streaming LedZepplin Presence MQA and my first impression is a much quieter noise floor, it just seems quieter and the music “fuller”
   My system is a Denon x4300 receiver as a prepro. My amps are (7) Outlaw mono m200’s. My mains are a DIY design clone AerialAcoustic CC3 from HT guide, dual 8” woofs, 6”mid 1”dome, all DaytonAudio, XO are poly caps aircore inductors and one iron core on the 8’s. For all aluminum drivers they are really sweet, i XO to quad 15” AdireTumults sealed, actually the whole system is sealed.

     It’s primarily its a 7.1.4  HT rig, with decay times in the bass area of under 20-25ms. First reflection points are 4” OC 703 panels. All other parallel walls have wood diffusers i think 2D also DIY

It just seems quieter than my ShieldTV with Tidal.....
i can’t quite put my finger on it, but i like what i hear so far :0)
Y’all got me thinkin about Qobuz though. It took me awhile to get use to paid services, but my days of archiving are over, except for some vinyl recently (no TT yet)

Any way to turn off the LAN connector lights, the flashing orange is crazy

Im diggin this piece, the app actually controls the unit, it doesnt cast to it, no need for a tv to be on, and to boot i get my favorite sliding volume! My denon app has a sliding volume, its more of an attenuator on the node though, i set my volume at -20db MV and the app does the rest.

this is gonna get alot of use....

    Im wondering why all the recommendations are for expensive DAC’s, then i thought, whats the sense in getting a comparable DAC to the burr/brown thats in the node2.

I understand now :0)

Well, i may be putting another Node2i in another system.
im putting together a 2.0 system with a Parasound Hint6 and a pair of
ML Sequel II’s
my front end analog will be my Denon dp59L
my hope is the internal dac in the parasound, bests the internal in the Node2i

I now have the node2 hooked up to my Hint6 and the 30yr old MartinLogan Sequels, it sounds fantastic, so much better than the HT system.

I bypassed the internal dac understanding i would be topping out at CD quality i think, the Parasounds dac sounds great!

im streaming Bob James and Earl Klugh One on One Wow so happy
