Bluesound


Anyone try the new node update ? After the last update I'm afraid to.

This update loaded perfectly. I've had many connectivity problems in the past.

Question: has anybody reported the screwy way the queue works? You lose all the current songs when you play a new album. I can't be the only one who's noticed this change.

Let me clarify, in previous BluOs versions you could add songs or albums to the queue and build a playlist. If you started to play a new album or added it to the queue all songs remained until you deleted or modified them.

Now, the queue is deleted when you select a random album. Only said album will appear in the queue.

I installed the upgrade. No problems, no change, good or bad, in SQ. Between the 4 software platforms I have to contend with, HEOS , BluOS, Sonos and Amazon, it seems competitive, but none of them I would rate above 'fair', except Sonos, which struggles to reach 'poor'. That mis really too bad because I rather like their hardware for secondary TVs, e.g. Bedrooms. Amazon excels at voice control, which is great when searching for some more obscure titles. HeOS is more or less proprietary to Marantz and Denon, where it works OK. 

For serious listeng though, I remain impressed with the whole BluSound platform.
