So I purchased a Bluesound Node X with the hope that it would improve my streaming experience and overall listening experience. It really hasn’t.

I use Amazon Music and other than some minor conveniences (like not interrupting music when a call comes in) I’m not sure it was worth the $750. The sound from the Laptop via USB sound fuller and just as detailed as the Node and it seems like its just another piece of equipment I don’t really need. Am I missing something?

    I have the cambridge streamer in m y rack and love it. Either I or the wife can break out our phones and stream to it from anywhere in the house , Tidal, sporify, etc… I run my CD player through it as well as a DAC which made a big improvement in sound to me. To me, a laptop would be a big step back in terms of convenience, if nothing else. But, to each their own

      To be clear, you’re not streaming from your phone to your streamer right? You’re using your phone to tell your streamer what to stream?
