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’m in the same dilemma. I have dedicated laptop hooked to my DAC, I don’t really use it for anything else and it sits behind speaker and don’t bother me. If I play Spotify from it, I can easily control it with mobile app. Wish I could do the same with Tidal, but no. So I don’t really see the point of streamer, even though I’m hot for Wiim Pro Plus.
