Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i

@vinylshadow

My Node 2i is hardwired via Ethernet cable to my combination moden/router, which is only a couple of feet away.

I have not tried the 2i with only a wi-fi connection so can't help you with personal experiences.  But from what I remember reading here, those that had trouble using wi-fi due to drop outs, etc. seemed to solve the problem with a wi-fi signal extender.

 

This is a good ethernet cable. He has various lengths.

@rareace I tried a lot of things to make the Node sound better and some helped (an external DAC made a noticeable difference).

I'll have to take your word that a PSU somehow magically transforms a mediocre streamer and DAC into something magnificent. I'm not an electrical engineer and never heard it, so I could be way off base, but that doesn't pass the smell test for me.

Thanks guys.
I should be getting my Node 2i next week so I'll see how it goes.

One thing about WiFi signal to downstairs is I've been using a Google Chromecast dongle in my processors WiFi, getting the WiFi signal from the upstairs router with no dropouts or problems. The music and the video is great. I would hope that with the Node 2i it is even better.

For your consideration- WiFi vs. Ethernethttps://darko.audio/2018/08/ethernet-or-wifi-which-is-better-for-high-end-audio-streaming/

While the designer of the Aurilac streamer has "perfected" the WiFi circuitry and prefers WiFi over Ethernet, I don't know if the same can be said with Bluesound. But it is worth an email to ask about it.

@big_greg @vinylshadow There are two main weaknesses of the Bluesound when used strictly as a streamer which is noise and jitter. The PSU fixes the noise part and iFi SPDIF Purifier 2 fixes the jitter. I'm partial to R2R DACs so not interested in the Node 2i for it's DAC.
