Hi Bluesound Team, I bought a new Powernode a month ago to replace it with my Onkyo TX-NR686 AVR. While the Bassrange from the Onkyo was warmer and wider and the Powernode has only a poor EQ, but anyway a realy good Sound in all, i asked myself, is it possible to send the Signal to an external Device with an Hardware EQ ? 1. I'm using Bananajacks on my LS-Cables. Is it generally an good idea to use this output for an external Input ? I saw there are some special Banana on RCA Cables available. 2. Is an external Amp making the Sound worse, than play directly from the Powernode DAC ? 3. Is here a User, who had the same Thoughts like me and gave this Idea a Trial ? Many Greets from Berlin, Germany Gordon P.S. The Powernode is a real Beast and all of your other Hardware is too. I am excited, what is coming in the Future from Bluesound / NAD.

  Hi Gordon

  Thanks for your feedback - the POWERNODE does not have pre-outs. You cannot connect external hardware to it other than your passive loudspeakers.

  The NODE however is a passive streamer and allows for external DACs as an option.

  Hey Guys, thanks for your very quick Responses. Your Support- and Update-Philosophy is really good.
  So i would like to test Roon, but in my Case my Synology NAS is only one of the home-User Devices without an I3 CPU, so i think it's not an good Idea to invest my Money in there. Are there any Plans to give your EQ more Settings in the near Future ? I think that would be great for a lot of Node/Powernode Users 😊.

  Hi,

  Supporting this. More/better EQ options would be highly (highly) appreciated by the vast majority of Bluesound users who have selected Bluesound gears for the Hi-fi/Better than Sonos approach.

  Hoping it should be doable at a relatively limited cost and will be considered at some point
