While I wait for my external DAC to arrive I am using the DAC in the 2i. Setting up the 2i is easy. I am still trying to figure out how to connect it to my NAS via wifi. For now I listen to the NAS via the 2i via the DS Audio App through Bluetooth to the 2i. I love the built in streaming apps and the ability to connect to so many internet radio stations. It even has a CD/MQA listening station. Later I will coaxial out to the Denafrips Ares ii DAC to tie in my digital signals. The DAC on the 2i is pretty good and anyone using the 2i DAC will be very happy.

The Blue Sound Node 2i is the best music streaming device available on the market today. It's DAC is fantastic and the connection options meet every requirement. Hi Res music streaming is the standard today. The 2i has raised the bar for performance and features.

I have a Sonos system, but with its 65,000 track limit, I had to start looking for something else. The Nodi 2i works great and can handle my entire library of 175,000 tracks. I use the coax output to feed a Teach DAC that goes into the main system. I still use Sonos since I already have a number of them, but I use Sonos on convenient areas to have music and the Nodi 2i on the high resolution sound systems.

This is a great value. Ok don’t let that make you think it’s not audiophile ready. It’s the simplest most cost effective way to join the higher ranks of quality music listening. The Apple airplay is a nice addition. And yes the sound has somehow improved over the previous model 2. It’s a subtle yet obvious improvement.

I have a high level, audiophile 2-channel system, and use SACD, Vinyl and CD as the source music (in that order of quality/preference). I was skeptical adding a "streamer" as a music source, but this BlueNode 2i, with Tidal (high fi quality account), rivals the vinyl and SACD in quality (especially the MQA selections). Delighted to add millions of musical choices to my collection!
