I only know the Vault And Node. I did have the Bluesound boom box, forgot what they called that. It stopped working about 1 day after the warranty expired when it got hung up in the middle of an update. So if you ask me, I wouldn’t get the PowerNode for the simple reason that the streamer and integrated amp are shoehorned into one box. I realize that minimizing the box count is an attractive feature for a small system, but I think that for around $500 (pre pandemic money) you should be able to pick up one of those small integrated amps, which I would then partner with the Node or another small streamer. Then if something happens to the streamer down the road you replace it without having to replace the whole shebang.

Wasn't sure if this should be here or in Amps/preamps. Considering this for a small simple system. Seems to be getting high marks. Anyone with one of these care to share the ups and downs if any?
