UPDATE: I bought a Bluesound NODE 3rd gen, and connected it through an AiMesh WiFi repeater dual band 300+867Mpbs. I started by tuning in to Radio Paradise MOA music.
WOW!! I was impressed!! Prior to this, I was pleased hearing a few notes on a few selections that sounded real and present. With the above, everything sounded that way. I was looking for an upgrade, and I have more than I could have hoped for. I'm going to sit back and enjoy this for a while!
I have cat5 wiring nearby, Would using that be an improvement over using the repeater?
Does anyone have a suggested way to access free jazz radio stations on the NODE? I’ll explore subscriptions after I settle in to how and what I want to listen to.
My background story is that due to work and outdoor play, I had stopped listening to music on my JBL L220 system and sold it. I do listen to music trough my earphones daily. Then I ran across a set of B&O BeoLab8000 speakers and decided to get back into listening. Since then I’ve added 2 subwoofers, new earphones and now the NODE. Every choice has been a good one so far.
My original post was to find a good value DAC because that had been suggested. I ended up with a different outcome and it worked well for me.
The NODE is too far away from my chair to use my Moondrop Blessing 2 earphones, but I can plug them into my iPad and go back radio.garden jazz stations when the need arises.
