Bluesound Powernode

@moose89 I've got one for our veranda speakers, and through the Bowers and Wilkins outdoor speakers it really sounds great. I really didn't expect it to be so musical. I figured I'd be listening to NPR while there, but queuing up my playlists has been a real treat. A great bargain for what it is.

I have 2 of the Powernode Edge and I’m very impressed.

Yes. Totally agreed. You know, I have both the Node and the Powernode. Powernode is not playing integrated power, as speakers are directly connected. I hear better separation, detail and bass. When the Node runs more so as a preamp, interconnects produce less of favorable sounds. 

Just think if you had even a mid quality digital streamer or dac it would sound much better in every way for detail and soundstage clarity and tone.

the Node is a very good value for the money though for a entry level streamer.

Can't say I agree. Fitted the Node with a DC supply and attached a high end. Sounds terrific.
