Refurbished Bluesound Vault 2

I don’t see any info on a trade in program. My guess they had a few returns but majority is NOS. They might have let dealers return the previous units in exchange for the current model and now the discounted price. 

I have no plans to use the built in DAC and not sure my area has 5G anyway and question it’s going to make much of a difference. Think I’ll take a chance on a refurbished unit as if I decide to sale it later I probably will not lose much if any.

@adg,
I didn't mean 5g wireless, but 5ghz wifi signal. There are 2 bands, 2.5 and 5ghz. The latter is less used and offers higher transfer rates, but with a lesser range of coverage.
I got a Netgear 5ghz adapter for my Node 1. It works like a charm.
@Mahler,
No trade in program. Refurbished might have been units they replaced to to some malfunction under warranty.

the Vault doesn't have wifi, the Nodes do

Some of these units may have been returned to the dealer by customers during  the trial period. Then given a clean bill of health for resale.

Agree that some Node 2 were returned NIB by dealers in exchange for the newer model.

2.5 or 5 doesn't really make any difference for audio . . . doesn't need that much bandwidth
