Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?

I'd like to add my thoughts on the stock power supply of the Node2i. My preamp died so I'm now going direct from Node to amp (using an external Dac). Still enjoying streaming Qobuz but there's a noticeable lack of bass and low-end extension. IME, this is often the case when a component lacks a decent or sizable PS. Music also lacks weight, which is something my system had when using my Audio Note linestage with its large power supply/transformer.

This recent situation has me thinking about adding the Teddy Pardo LPS with Bluesound mod. I think it may be cost effective over upgrading to a streamer in the $2000 ballpark.

@lowrider57 I wonder. I have the new Node.

The TP PS is $435. 

@ericsch  I see on his website the price is higher for the Node2i. The PS regulation is different than the new Node.

@lowrider57

Yes, I saw that. $435 into a $600 streamer.

Do you think it is cost effective, bang for the

buck, etc.

Putting $435 linear power supply into a $600 streamer is definitely a cost effective bang for the buck.  The performance is definitely an improvement.  If you look at all the music servers vendors, they will have a significant price difference between a model with switching power and a model with linear power. 

The difference between Innous Mini and Innous Zen is about $1400.  The Zen had a linear power supply and maybe an spdif output.

Melco has a $3k difference between N100 and N10 with the N10 external linear power supply being the only practical difference.

I have attached a $600 linear power supply to a $300 Tivo Bolt (DVR) and it made a huge improvement in sound quality.  Anything linear power supply you do for the Node2/2i will be an improvement.
