I just got a node2i today but never owned the previous model. I can only use wifi so wanted something with wifi5. Haven’t tried the built in dac probably will at some point for comparison. I think the main difference between the 2 and 2i is wifi5 and the trickle down circuit design from the NAD masters 50.2 but the 2i and 2 use the same dac..
Bluesound Vault 2i vs. Meridian Media Core 200 for first music server
Looking to add a music server to the dedicated 2ch system to make it more user friendly for my better half and to have the whole cd library at my fingertips. I'm curious to hear any opinions on the pros/cons of a NEW Bluesound Vault 2i vs. a USED Meridian Media Core 200. What I care most about is the sound quality and reliability.
In my system i'd be using the internal dac of each unit and output via the RCAs to a JRDG concentra integrated.
Appreciate the feedback as I try to become a bit less of a luddite....
