Bluesound node 2i

@howardlander
Wireworld and Cullen C7 cables provided an upgrade in sound; deeper bass extension, wider and deeper soundstage, and increased detail. The Wireworld is more detailed than the Cullen, both gave the Node more weight to the music.

It’s great you have a dedicated line, but this mainly removes noise from the appliances and devices in your home, providing a lower noise floor to your audio.
The power supply in the Node is very small and comes with a cheap PC. A cable with pure copper and high quality terminations will make a noticeable improvement. It will feed the Node a cleaner signal vs. stock.

Try a cable from a dealer with a return policy.

I’ll second cullen cables.  I’ll be getting another one soon so I’ll have all power cords from Patrick. They are great cables at a great price and you’re supporting one of the small guys.

Nothing but good things to say about him.  I really love his crossover series power cords!

+1 for Wireworld Mini Electra

I have one issue with Bluesound stuff.

You will see this in all of their promotional product descriptions:

"...the NODE 2i connects your gear to all the music ever recorded."

Why would they make such an obviously false claim?  I don't get it.
I own at least 100 records that are not available from Tidal or Qobuz.

Not saying it's a bad product;  I know that lots of people like them.  

Does this bother anyone else, if even a tiny bit?

The Node2i connects to more than Tidal or Qobuz. Have you checked Spotify or Amazon? Or the other stream sites you can access with the Node2i?
