Hey Mahler, I think my Qobuz subscription is about 14 bucks / month, that includes hi-rez and I want to say 2 devices (phone and Node). And it IS a terrific way to discover new music or sample artists that you think you might like or revisit some older artists that never actually made it into your collection (Amazing Rhythm Aces recently). I let my SiriusXM subscription lapse (hardly in the car much anymore) and put the money towards Qobuz. Bluesound lets you intermingle your files and theirs. Their interface is not that good if you don't know exactly what your looking for, but a straight search usually leads you where you're going. Also, not all artists have their entire repertoire available. But I was continually surprised by what they did have.
Mr Coburnerskine, you need a shorter handle! Sorry you experienced the same issue as I did. The Node 2 is such a neat little device. I had plenty of software-glitchy type issues early on, but things eventually seemed to settle down (I am now down to only 5 or 6 albums that somehow have the exact same artwork as a Booker T Jones album).
However, since Bluesound is unwilling to help (us), I have a repair shop that is going to take a look at mine and presumably if it really is an issue with the power supply or power regulation, they may be able to effect repairs. At this stage my lowest cost replacement would be $250 for a refurb Node 2 from Bluesound, so anything less than that would be a net gain -not sure what kind of warranty that comes with. I plan to update this thread if that proves to work out and you're welcome to sit tight to find out what happens, but I'm not likely to have a definitive answer till mid Jan at the earliest.
