Bluesound Node Icon

I currently use Bluesound products because of their multiroom capabilities. 

In my main system I have a bluesound node N130 hooked up to a Mcintosh D1100 preamp dac.

Thinking about buying the new Node Icon but I would be by-passing the built in dual dacs so I am not sure if there is any reason to upgrade to the ICON?

If anyone knows the new ICON and can give me some advice I would appreciate it.

If you’re going to upgrade I’d suggest going to an Innuos Pulse mini with an external LPS.  Their Sense app is outstanding as is their customer support, and with Innuos your benefitting from trickle-down tech from their much pricier models whereas Bluesound is working from the bottom up.  It’s just a higher-level company IMHO.  Best of luck.

Hi Thanks for the feedback.  I need to stay in the bluesound family because I have 3 zones in my home and need multiroom.

Soix,  Any suggestions on which LPS?  I started a thread asking that question awhile ago, but the response was limited.  Your recommendation for the Pulse Mini convinced me to go with It.  Hope to further enhance in the future.  I've looked at the LHY and the Dan Pardo.  Not sure which is the better option.
