I’ve been very happy with my Node 2 particularly the flexibility that it provides. I have used it as a "Streamer" as well as a preamp/streamer directly connected to my amplifier. The mobile app supports basically everything a preamp can provide - volume control, balance, tone control, including a subwoofer connection. The question to ask is what else is out there that is WiFi capable and provides all this in a single box, with decent quality, and supports MQA content for under $500. Bluesound reliability and on-line support has also been excellent.
Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound
Bluesound Node 1 has been great with streaming Tidal. I’ve upgraded my system and believe that I can likely do better with the sound quality. This is especially given that Tidal is adding more and more hi def music.
I’m thinking the Bluesound Node 2 as the natural upgrade. I would like to know if there are other options to get the best sound. I can’t spend more than $500 on the equipment.
