@hilde45 Probably more with the power cords but close.
Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?
I mean...by improving its components, not with a YOUR preferred streamer brand...;-)
Sure, you can upgrade the C-7 power cord. We all get that.
But, what about the power supply.
I only see 3 options:
1. Fidelity in UK
2. Some dude in Poland selling on eBay
3. Rumors of Teddy Pardo making one for the Node 2i.
It has to be DIY for the first two and not really what I'm looking to do with my streamer - I mean, if i'm going to to a DIY LPS upgrade, I'd like it to be easier to buy.
Anybody know anything or actually made it work?

Agree about PD Creative, in Poland. .Pawel has been doing this for quite a while now. He has kits for both the original Node 2i and the new Node 'Gen 3'. I have used both. Board quality is excellent. He does sell an LPS, but I used an existing SBooster I already owned. Easy to install and significant difference in audio clarity, lower noise floor. Well worth doing, IMO.

Thanks, all. So, $200 with the power supply. That's a good deal. @jjss49 asked whether it improved the sound when sending the sound out to an external DAC. Can you confirm that was your setup? I might have missed that detail in your descriptions, so if you can please repeat for me? Thank you. |
@jjss49 I run mine thru a McIntosh D 150 dac. And yes it is nice! So nice I just bought a Nordost Valhalla digital interconnect to connect the node to the dac. I thought it’s now worthy of a good digital cable. |
