Thank you very much for your advice, Shipworm. 😂

Correct. I will use the USB input on the Powernode to hook up a hard disk with my music files. 😀 It has a Toslink (Optical) input though. The Mac Mini has a Toslink output. Could this work? Or do I need an extra dac with Toslink out?

How can I connect a Mac Mini to the Powernode enabling it to stream high res from Apple Music? In my old system the Mac Mini was connected by a USB cable to a Musical Fidelity V-link 192. This was connected to my amp by coax. The Powernode doesn't have a coax input, therefore rendering the...

I found a comparison of the different Kef speakers you might want to see. View: https://youtu.be/sRgxJaPDn10

I would suggest a Bluesound Powernode (model 2021). It has eARC. Pair it off with Kef LS50Meta speakers. The Powernode sounds far better than my NAD D7050 amp with the same speakers, Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2. Maybe I will purchase the Kef LS50Meta speakers to replace my B&W speakers, but for...

I have decided to return the Pulse 2i as well as the Pulse Mini 2.i. I didn't like the sound of these speakers. I will keep my NAD Viso1 AP speaker as this sounds better in my opinion. It will not be able to communicate with the Bluesound Powernode and form a multi room system. I will have to...

May be too much pushing but I like to present a fine and informative review of the Powernode. View: https://youtu.be/NdCgCFtf5fg

You could digitize your cd collection. This will save you much space. (We lived on a boat where space is scarce. A new book in meant another book out.) You could put the files on a portable disk (1 or 2 TB) and connect this to the Powernode. It will give you access to your cd collection in the...

I just bought a Bluesound Powernode and I am very satisfied with the sound. It sounded better than my NAD D7050 amplifier. I kept the same speakers. They sound also better. The soundstage is very good. You can connect your new TV via eARC. You have many different streaming channels to choose...

I am currently looking into the Bluesound system. I have read the review on the Pulse 2i, which is quite disappointing. I have a Pulse Mini 2i at the moment that I listen to. I find the sound too skinny/light. It does not sound full. I think it lacks bass. I have ordered the Pulse 2i to listen...
