Time to make a change ?

Hello everyone,

I did the latest update to BluOS app and they made some changes that might be a deal breaker for me. The first is there used to be a blue line in the playlist that tracked the song being played. This made it easy to find where you were at if you left your list or just scrolled through to look for another song. It’s gone and they put that EQ icon that pulses up and down in its place. It’s harder for me to see it than the blue line. 
The second change is the really bad one. When I leave the list for any reason and come back it does not go right back where I was. It appears to reload the list and defaults to the same spot in my list and I have to scroll down to where I was every time. It used to go back where I left off. This is the deal breaker for me if they do not fix it. Has this happened to anyone else? BluOS only said my issue was passed on to the tech department.

Fwiw the Stream Magic app for CA will return you to your prior position as long as you don’t sign out.  You can also access the queue and pull up your last listens and then leap from there back to your last place in the stored files.

Not disputing the fact that Lumin makes good sounding streamers but their UI is pretty user unfriendly.

Aurender is great and has a very nice UI but the first model that features AES output is N20 at $12,000.

That’s why I recommended Roon as an option with your Boulder 866. It’s free to try as long as you have a computer you can install it on that is located anywhere in the house on the same network as your 866, you’ll eliminate your Node and end up with better sound and arguably the best in the world UI for streaming music. You can always upgrade to a better streamer later.
