If you have patience and want to save money, and know the tricks of Ebay, there can be bargains to be found. I bought a Bluesound Node X for a total of $410.00. That price included tax, shipping, Ebay's fees, everything. And a week ago another Node X sold for $425. That's a good bargain. But be careful because streamers are often holding their original value, so be patient.
Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative?
I have been using a BlueSound Vault as my streamer for many years, but it finally died, and my resuscitation attempts have failed. I want to replace it with another low-cost streamer, and the Wiim Pro looks like an interesting possibility for $150.
The rest of my system is:
- McCormack DNA-1, fully refurbished (gold, love it):
- Bel Canto 2.7 DAC, Which I also use as my pre;
- Usher Mini Dancer 2 speakers
I like the Bel Canto DAC pretty well, So I doubt the DAC in a Node 2i would be any better. Aside from that, is there any other reason to spend more for the Node?
