Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...

soix- Thanks for the suggestion.  I read diligently about benefits of doing as you indicate, and I 'thought' I understood that pretty much across the board, wireless was sonically equivalent to the best wired connection.   Glad to know otherwise.  And it's not difficult for me to try. 

I do have the ASUS Zen Mesh System with 2 Mesh nodes (extenders), in addition to the ASUS router.  One of the mesh nodes is in the same room as the hi-fi system, and it would be easy enough for me to move it near the Node N130 and connect via Ethernet cable.  Aesthetically, it's not as elegant for me, and that's why I didn't give it more consideration when I did my research.  That's still much easier than running Ethernet in my attic and attempting to fish down masonry walls from my modem to my Bluesound Node.  A couple questions for you:

1. Do you have a particular Ethernet cable you like?  My default would probably be      DH Labs or Triode Wire Labs, but I would like to know if you have a favorite.

2. I really hope to avoid yet another rabbit hole, but I seem to recall reading                  these Mesh Nodes (extenders) benefit from their own Linear Power Supply.

3. If No.2 above is true, what about another LPS for the Modem?  And what about        yet another LPS for the Mesh router feeding signal to the Mesh node extender?  

4. Depending upon the answers to these, I might just reconsider the attic work, as        it's probably less hassle and more elegant to bite that bullet.

These are questions I had some months ago but thought I had satisfied myself    not to bother with them.  I will be glad to hear some real experience talking.  Thanks for any further thoughts.

@rtilden  I think because you already have the Mesh node I’d try that first with a good Ethernet cable you can return.  Unfortunately I haven’t compared any but would go with a Veritas Mirus or DH Labs Revelation just going by positive user feedback here.  Running from the attic I guess you’d have to weigh the cost and length of cable along with presumably having to use a lower-quality Ethernet cable, and considering all that I’d lean toward using the Mesh node and if you get a nice benefit just stay with that.  Sorry I don’t have anything more definitive but would be interested in what you find. 

soix- Thanks again for the tips.  I will see what I can do and report back.

If anyone else has such experience, I welcome your comments.

Extender with better wire and upgrading component is a good idea. Sometime trying to put on a quick fix is a sideways move. If you move on the Lumin D1 with sbooster can be picked up cheap almost at the price you could sell your player and through your LPS money in the deal. They dual dacs on that Lumin are very analog with nice sparkle.

Aside from the issue of improved sound or not, Blue Sound specifically states that using anything other than OEM Equipment (power supply) will void the warranty.
