RE: Bluesound Node 2i Owners' Feedback

Posted by welly on February 9, 2021 at 23:08:31:
I ran an original Node, not the current model, for a couple of years...
I was extremely happy with the performance until the unit failed to turn on one day, which, I believe, may have been due to a power surge after a big storm...
If that hadn't happened, I'd probably still be using it.
Had a couple of minor glitches with the app, but no more than any other platform I've used (e.g. small laptop or my current raspberry Pis).
After the hardware failure, I went to an Allo Digione. Initially, bought this as a stop-gap because I didn't have the additional dollars to buy a Node 2 at that time.
Anyway, that was couple of years ago and I now have two Digiones, running Volumio... One is on the main system and has the Shanti LPS. The other is on my headphone setup and uses the iFi iPower. I haven't felt the need to look into a new Node since getting these...
Anyway, in summary, I really liked the Node when I had it. I had no real issues with the app which, obviously, would have been somewhat less mature than the current one. But, the Digione fulfils my needs and I have been able to put one in each of my systems for about the same price as one Node 2 would cost me...
