Some 40 years ago reading W Hi-Fi reviews was almost like religious experience to me. I can not determine if I was so young, naive and stupid or things have changed that much. As far as I am concerned, current WHF reviews have at best, anecdotal value. They are often highly arbitrary and...

Bluesound is Roon recognized (compatible) device (listed by Roon) and I have one zone only and will continue that way. Thank you again!

Right now I am overwhelmed with the number of available options. Before I start asking too many questions I will try to reach a basic level of familiarity with the program. I must say that I am very impressed by initial listening tests! One question that is probably quite simple: I am...

The first impression last night was how quickly it finished indexing my library. I heared it for a couple of seconds only (my wife was watching TV) just to establish that it is talking to my Powernode. I will definitely have a better idea about the sound, my primary interest, later today...

I must have misspelled something. As a part of the package a free month of Tidal with some MQA I can finally try! Sunday is going to be very, very busy! Thank you very much again Insider!

I also searched their and some other forums but again, no luck.

It is clearly my fault that I was too slow. I spent some time googling the code but had no luck. Anyway, tomorrow is another day and my luck may change!

I was slow to use the original code and had no luck finding a replacement. Any idea if there is another one somewhere?

I will have to do some serious reading!

Currently I am using my Bluesound Powernode 2 with an USB flash drive attached to its back to stream my music. I also have a copy of the music library on my WIN 10 PC on a separate HD and I can also stream it from that source. I assume that if I use the USB drive with Roon I could only benefit...

I am in Canada, so the UK pricing is not affecting me. The main reason for my posting was to point to the lack of fairness in the review. With very limited connectivity the rPlay is much closer to the Chromecast Audio than to the Node 2. Add to that the extenal antenna and power supply and...

Sorry, I was not aware that the official warranty is two years. All NAD and Bluesound products at Sevenoaks Sound and Vision are advertised as having a six year warranty and I was under the impression that was a manufacturers warranty.

When I first read the Arcam rPlay vs Bluesound Node 2...article, my initial reaction was a combination of disblief and disgust. What Hi-Fi was never an epitome of journalistic excellence but from time to time they would have some articles that were informative if nothing else. This article is...

A year or so ago, I moved from my Logitech Squeeze Box Duet to Bluesound Node 2. The main reason being unreliable indexing of the tracks, artists or albums by Logitech software. I had a number of "unknown artist" or "unknown album" files and that was really annoying. Since the sound of the...

And it is only a tiny bit more!
