Any Bluesound Node2 owners

Im diggin this piece, the app actually controls the unit, it doesnt cast to it, no need for a tv to be on, and to boot i get my favorite sliding volume! My denon app has a sliding volume, its more of an attenuator on the node though, i set my volume at -20db MV and the app does the rest.

this is gonna get alot of use....

A $200 Topping will outperform the internal.
If I was you I'd enjoy the stock and save up for the RME ADI.
The one thing the BluSound has is plenty of radio stations. Almost as many as Orange Squeeze on a Magna Mano. Crummier art and metadata however.
Welcome to the stream. I'm Qobuz also.
MQA is not for me.

I use Vault 2 with schiit bifrost multibit. It’s definitely a step up from inbuilt dac. I use qobuz as my streaming service.

I’m using a Node2i with a ARC Dac7...no complaints and no desire to spend $1500+ on a noticeably better streamer. I also took the advice from those who claimed that upgrading the power cord on the Node was a must do. And FWIW, I A/B’d MQA straight from the Node vs my DAC which doesn’t decode MQA and In my opinion the Dac7 is absolutely superior.

I have an Oppo 205 so can’t say for certain the DAC in your 105 will sound better than the Node but I bet it will be noticeably better. To do it right you need a digital coax cable so not any rca cable and I’d say avoid Toslink as well. If you don’t have a digital coax then pick up a Canare to experiment with as it’s very affordable and very good. Need a min. of a 3ft cable... I suggest a 4ft cable. Once you hear your Oppo as the DAC I bet you’ll understand why many use the Node/Vaults as streamers only.
