Bluesound Streamer Node 2i and Active Speakers via Line-In
Answered
Hi, i have 2012 Teaufel Raumfeld Speaker L active speakers and brand new Bluesound Streamer Node 2i and face degradated sound quality only for music played via Node 2i and Line-In (speakers only physical interface). I tried with an external DVD player and Line-in and active boxes deliver brilliant quality sound. Teufel own music app delivers same brilliant result. It feels like Bluesound 2i overamplifies music, so highs/lows feel like scrambled. I use Tidal as music source and tested with MQA music. Any idea how to tweak BluOS App? Thanks Lauri

Hello Lauri,
I'd be curious to know if the audio quality out of the NODE's headphone jack sounds as scrambled/overamped as over the Line connections. Perhaps swapping the end of the RCA cable that is connected to the NODE will help (so the side that was connected to the speakers are now connected to the NODE) or even testing with TuneIN as well as TIDAL.
You can make some adjustments to the NODE's Tone Controls under Settings > Player > Audio.

Hi Sam,
i tried headphone jack - works, seems to be fine with Bose headphones. i tried swapping - no difference, basses of Raumfeld Speaker L are still distorted. I tried TIDAL MQA vs TIDAL CD quality - same issue, basses distorted. I can send a voice recording, maybe that helps. I adjusted Settings->Player->Audio (Smart Gain ON; AUdio Clock Trim ON; provided i dont have to logout of the app to make changes work)

Hello Lauri,
I believe it would be best to email that video link to support@bluesound.com so the support crew may review it and look into this further. For your privacy I removed the link from this thread.
