Bluesound Node2i via analogue to Yamaha rx-V685 and Elac Carina FS247.4 speakers is simply awesome. So much better than using the stupid, ugly, clunky Yamaha MusicCast interface that cannot unfold Tidal MQA files at all. Sound stage is much more impressive and channel separation (ie "stereo effect") is much more pronounced now. Also have the Node connected via digital Coax to the Yamaha's internal Burr Brown DACs and that seems to work slightly better than the internal DAC of the Node for those time when I want bring in the rear MusicCast 20 Speakers and MusicCast Sub 100 for that rumbling bass and 7 speaker stereo.

Qobuz Hi-Res tracks are sometimes better then the tidal equivalent by a narrow margin but that's why I have two subscriptions - "horses for courses"! 

Plugged a USB drive in the back and tried my own library of ripped SACDs and other Flac & Apple Lossless files. Sound fine but not as good as the Tidal and Qobuz streams. Might do for those times when the internet is down here (happens sometimes).

And lastly, Radio Paradise has NEVER sounded so good as it does in an MQA stream!

Great product all in all - keep it up!

  Good Morning from Berlin.
  @Rhys is that true, that the Qobuz Hi-Res Files sounds better than the Master Files from Tidal ? I mean sometimes i try to hear some differences between the Masterfiles and the normal CD-Quality Files.

  And imo it's not often to hear a real Difference. I know it depends on the setup someone have. I bought a pair of LS50 Meta from KEF last Year and i think they're great to hear some Differences between good or better Quality. What you Guys think ?

  Hello Gordon S, It depends on the track/album. Some sound better as Tidal Masters, some sound better as Qobuz Hi-Res. The difference is usually very, very small though.

  Not at all. That was more to do with the quality (or lack thereof) of my ripped local files.
