Hi all and thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I recently purchased a brand new Bluesound Node2i for my old ROTEL HiFi System (Rotel RA-03 + RCD-02 + RB 06 + RT-06) with B&W 603 S3 Floor Speakers. I use ROON on my 5,1 MacPro 12 Core (1TB SSD + 128GB RAM) and my iPad Pro 12.9" as the controller. I have my Bluesound Node2i setup at 100% Volume with Fixed Volume selected… this means that when I turn the volume dial on my Rotel Amp I can really feel that power of the 100% sound early on as I raise the volume dial… my question is… is having the Bluesound Node2i setup at 100% Volume with Fixed Volume selected the correct method… or should I have it at 50% or little higher and then increase the volume on my Roon Controller App on my iPad Pro. I do find the sound can be very powerful sounding at low Rotel Volume Nob levels…?

Is there a correct way to this… and does having the Bluesound Node2i setup at 100% Volume with Fixed Volume affect the sound quality and clarity from my Rotel HiFi System ?

I’m using TIDAL as my source for my music.

Any comments or suggestions most welcome.

Regards,
Anthony

  Hello Anthony,

  Having your Node 2i set to fixed volume simply sets the Node 2i's volume output permanently to the max. Since there is no amplifier inside the Node 2i, there is no risk of damage by leaving it at a high volume over an extended period of time.

  I can not speak as to the effect on your external equipment, but from what I can tell, you have everything configured correctly. The only suggestion I can make is that if you would like to control the volume of your Tidal playback directly from the BluOS app, you will have to disable fixed volume to do so.
