Are these streams being replaced... node 2i, and PS


Hi everyone,
I'm looking to replace my Logitech touch squeezebox and I. Looking at the 
node 2i Which I see on Amazon is priced at $486. Is Bluesound preparing to 
replace this with a newer model? Also, is PS audio planing on discontinuing 
the DS Dac? Thanks!

All models of the Node are upgradable to current firmware.
Even if they come out with a new model, they work the same.
Only the 2i model support 5ghz wireless network.

new models are a way of life in our consumption-focused society, reinforced by look-at-me ethos of social media

so there will certainly be a new node, just as the 2i came after the 2...

they will probably sharpen up the dull dac section hardware... streamer portion is updateable as you mention
PS Audio is updating the DS DAC with a Mk II version, supposed to arrive sometime later this year.  It will not have provisions for the on-board Bridge though.  PS Audio will be bringing out a replacement for the Bridge as a separate box using their proprietary Octave software.  Availability will probably be after the DAC, maybe even next year.
