I currently have a Node 2i in my main rig, and prior to that had one of the original Bluesound Nodes (which is now in my office). My experience was that via WiFi that it was more stable for CD quality content streamed locally from my NAS than it was for CD quality content streamed from TIDAL. My decision was to go with a hardwired connection using power line Ethernet adapters (in my case net gear). These are relatively inexpensive, and in my case very effective. They provided a rock solid connection with improved SQ to boot.
Bluesound node 2i question
Thanks in advance everyone ! Ready to buy one of these so I called a store in town to see if they have it in stock. The sales person asked about my router/modem and I told him I use the router supplied by my internet carrier: Century Link. When I told him I would be connecting to it via WiFi the salesman proceeded to tell me that I would have drop-outs and other issues I really didn’t understand...I’m a newbie to this as I’ve collected records for decades. My question: is anybody using a bluesound node 2i with the basic set-up received from your internet carrier ? How does it work ? He obviously could have gone ahead and sold me one, so his warning has slowed me to a stop...
