Blue node 2i vs other devices

I started with the Apple TV, then switched to my computer with a Bifrost DAC via USB and then moved up to the Node2 and now I have the 2I.

The Node 2i is a significant improvement to all other options I listed above and for me - well worth the upgrade.

If you use good power and interconnect cables on the Node 2i it will surprise you even further.

I also use small cones underneath to isolate it from the shelf

I was so impressed I also purchased the Power Node 2 to replace my A/V system and the Pulse Mini for outdoor music - and never looked back

The Node 2i is so good I have no plans to upgrade any further
- i.e. unless they come out with another version :-)

Hope that helps - Steve

thank you for all your responses. I think I will give the node 2i a try. 

I have the 2i and it has been around for awhile.  One might guess a new updated model may be coming out.  Just a guess.

the Node 2i gets listed often ands sell fast...so not much to lose in trying one...and they can also be improved with a better DAC, worth it for Tidal but not Spotify

When the replacement for the 2i comes out, unless there is a substantial increase in price, the resale on the current 2i will nosedive.  True they do not cost that much to start with.  I have a 2i.
