Bluesound

I just signed up for 2 months of Tidal ($2 special).  No issues with the Node or WiiM.  I am noticing a difference in the sound between these streamers into a DAC.  Should there be a difference?  The Node 2i sounds "fuller" and more musical.  The WiiM sounds more lean.  I disabled the EQ in the WiiM app.  I was under the impression that the digital signal would be the same.  

Amazon music is back playing on my node 2i.  Incidentally, this was the first time I had any service not playing correctly with the above error message on my node in years of use.

NodeX w/ Amazon seems to be working this evening.  IIRC, this is the second time in the last year that this interface has been problematic.  I listen mostly to vinyl but do use streaming for background quite a bit so am glad the problem is resolved. 

Yep, problem seems to be fixed. I'm still going to try Tidal to see how it compares,  both in SQ and the OS interface. 

Same experience here with the latest upgrade. I also have some Marantz (HEOS) - no problem. Firestick driving a Sonos Beam - No.problem. And of course native Amazon devices - no problem. So looks like BluOS side API to Amazon got AFU'd in the upgrade. Or the upgrade is pounding the Amazon gateway into overload with what would resemble a DDOS attack. Either way, it all points back to BluOS.
