Sounds like the ReBoot fix isolated the problem ... Blu OS being fussy.
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Help me out here please. I was really enjoying getting into streaming. Just purchased a Node 2i 2 weeks ago and have been enjoying it. Testing Tidal and Qobuz, leaning toward Qobuz. I was testing both wifi and ethernet connection. I seemed to pick up some noise and distortion on what I thought was the ethernet so I have been listening on wifi. I really enjoy finding new music on the streaming service. Tonight I was enjoying Sierra Hull because I listen to a lot of Alison Krauss. I was listening to Sierra Hull's new 25 Trips album and got to track 7 Escape and I heard a bunch of static/distortion, almost like a blown tube, except I have solid state equipment. I switched to Tidal to see if it was a problem with the Qobuz stream and same thing. Hooked up my MacBook pro to rule out a problem with the Node 2i, same thing. Now I am listening to Clapton's Unplugged and I hear the same thing. Is it my internet? I have a brand new modem, a Motorola MB7621, and a brand new Asus AC3100 router. I did a speed test and we are getting 237 mbps. My daughter was watching Netflix on a TV upstairs at the time, when she was finished I did a reboot of the cable modem and reboot of the Node 2i and then it was fine after that. I listened for about an hour after that. Is it my internet speed? Do I need to call Comcast/xfinity and up my speed package? Is it something else? Its getting frustrating and its not supposed to be like that, I am at the point where I may just send the Node back on the return policy and stick with CD's.

“I’’m confident the technology will improve as time passes and your issue will be overcome.” Streaming technology is already matured. It just a matter of making sure your Ethernet connectivity is up to snuff. As I pointed out in my earlier post, I have been enjoying streaming over 5 years without any fuss. I own Bluesound Vault 2 and it’s a plug n play device and they provide great customer support to anyone who is not tech savvy. |
Thanks everyone. My big question is this: When digital streamers have an issue with signal, what would be the result in sound? I would not think it would sound like distortion or a slightly out of tune radio station. I keep thinking now it may be my old amp failing. My router is brand new and one the fastest that Asus makes as well as my Motorola cable modem. |

jmphotography OPThat’s exactly what it sounded like to me. I keep thinking now it may be my old amp failing.Put your CD player back on the system and see if that’s still the case Cheers George |
