Bluesound NODE

I'm replacing a Sonos system with Bluesound gear, mainly because I don't use music subscription services and the former couldn't index a FLAC library of 50K+ tracks. Bluesound had no problem with it. I no longer have to segment my library by genres and load one of four on demand. The 2021 Node is a modern component with an array of output options so it's one part of an upgrade to my my hi-fi chain. It has a better internal DAC than the ancient Sonos ZP90 it replaced but I plan to get an external DAC eventually. I was able to configure the Node to operate with an old Apple IR remote that I had in storage. The desktop controller app can sort an artist's albums by release year, a handy feature for me. But playlist management is poor. There's no way for the play queue to quickly scroll back to display the currently playing track within its list. And still no album shuffle. So one star deduction for these UI shortcomings (and I knew about them before purchase). The BluOS platform overall is solid and reliable; it provides convenient access to my entire digital music library.

I purchased a reconditioned bluesound node at a very good price. When I received the node it was package like it was brand new. I can not tell it was used the node plays fantastic I could not be happier The warranty is the same as buying a new one The price I paid was such a great deal I am thinking about buying a vault 2i. Thank you so much

It’s simply perfect!!!
