Bluesound mode not really cutting it

@oddiofyl +1 Streamers are all pretty much equivalent. No point in spending thousands of dollars when a WiiM Pro for $200 sounds no different than a four-figure streamer contrary to what the golden ears crowd claims.

You can get a Bryston BDP-3 for about $1.5K used.  They stopped making them but will continue support. Manic Moose interface is antiquated vs the new stuff with apps. Only supports Qobuz and tidal but SQ is not notch for the spend. 

Streamers aren't all the same.   You can buy an Eversolo and get terrible support or you can buy an Innuos or Aurender and get both great sound and support.  

Bluesound is a great platform and sounds pretty good for the money.  Best platform for the price Support is pretty good too.  

I have a Bluesound Node N130 with upgraded power. I really like the 5 presets on top of it where I can just push a button and it plays (without having to go into my phone). For other players mentioned in this list, do they have presets? If it was pushing a couple of buttons on the device/screen, that might be ok. I've been wondering about this. 

gkelly, I have a question about your Innuos Pulse Mini. Are you running it without the upgrade power supply. I was speaking with a dealer the other day and he was pushing the power supply, and although I realize I can always add it later, I am just curious on your results. I have a Node as well, most recent version, and am looking to take the next step. 
soix, you mentioned another brand of power supply. Was your decision on the PS you have based on upgrading for the OEM Innous PS or did you start with the PS you have? 
And a question for both of you, how would you compare the software to the Bluesound BluOS? My complaint with BluOS is the size of the song list trying to pick the option of 1) add to a playlist 2) play next or 3) play last. So many times I intend to make one of those choices and start that song unintentionally.

To the OP, sorry of this is interpreted as me hijacking your thread, but hopefully the answers I get will be of benefit to you as I imagine you have experienced this frustration with BluOS
