After what seems like an eternity, the Node 2i has finally arrived!! Thanks to all the lovely people here for your guidance and meticulous advice. Been enjoying it for the past 8 hours :) Here's my review: Followed exactly the instructions and pointers given to me. Hardwire it to the internet...

Thanks for your kind words Gray, 18 years to own something is a darn long time. I remember vividly 14-15 years ago, when I first started work. I signed a 2 years contract with a local internet service in order to receive a free 30g iPod. In no way I will ever afford that back then. I told my...

These pointers were absolute gem. Imagine if I toggle the sound control wrongly and god knows how long I will take to realise the technicality of what you mentioned, it would likely result in a less favorable experience. I’m grateful and appreciative towards your passion in ensuring others...

Thank you :) I’ll follow exactly. Can’t wait for the node to arrive! I’ll update you again on the result !!!

Thank you very much Gray, your advice is indeed very valuable especially for a beginner like me. An excellent point there, I should explore trial options before I part my money on any upgrade. As of now I have not yet experience the Node 2i as it hasn’t been deliver to me yet, more so with a...

Wow that would be a bonus. I’ve been paying premium subscription for the past 9 months. A year ago when I purchase the Cyrus One, it comes with 3 months free Tidal. yes I notice the MQA in Tidal, Chromecast currently doesn’t support that format via RCA. Am not sure if it works via Toslink, but...

Thank you! I’m quite certain good cables do makes a difference even though I have not experience any before. A friend who Sold me the speakers, bundle it with chord company cables. Didn’t know there were good cables until I chance upon their product online. I Guess it doesn’t hurt my wallet...

Thank you so much on these pointers. I shall follow exactly. I’ll be receiving the Node 2i tomorrow!! Can’t wait to test it out. Btw, will I be fine for using the RCA cable that comes with it ?

Hi. I own a Cyrus One amp and currently set up with a pair of Dynaudio Excite x18 speakers and stream Tidal through Chromecast Audio. I have been listening to this set up for a year now and am hankering over an upgrade. After given some careful thoughts together with multiple nights of...

Thank you so much, Jonathan, your message couldn't be more reassuring. Whilst it is subjective to say dumping more money doesn't necessarily result in better sound. I am excitedly building up a system that I can enjoy and around the price range of the amp that one way or another wouldn't be...

I have decided to go for the Bluesound Node 2i after a day of researching. While surfing, Cambridge Audio CXN kept popping out of everywhere and it seems to have better DAC in-built. Afterall I was drawn to BlueSound Node 2i mainly: 1. The ability to cast MQA 2. Better User Interface 3. Get...

Wow thank you so much on your advice. Good news is the phone port on the wall behind the set up was converted to Rj45 ethernet port. I can easily run the cat6 cable and plug directly into a new dedicated streamer. Meanwhile I’ll check out on the Bluesound Node 2i. On a side note, I feel there...

Hi lovely people. I’m a newbie here and I need some advices on my current set up. I have a Cyrus One amp paired with Dynaudio Excite X18 speakers and am streaming my music from Tidal through Google audio chromecast. From my understanding, streaming wirelessly may not result in the same from...
