Node Icon Standby after 15 minutes and it takes 5 seconds to play any sound?
Answered
First of all: congratulations on the very good soundquality of the Node Icon! So far, so good.
But, there is something that makes using the Icon unpleasant.
I (still) have a Node N130. I swapped it for the Icon, enjoy listening to music but after a pause of 15 minutes it goes to STANDBY (Clock appears on the screen). 15 minutes is too short... And it takes 5 seconds before any sound starts playing.
The Node is the center of my audio-system. PC is connected to a LG OLED tv with an optical output to the Node.
PC and LG OLED are 15 hours per day ON. I read, browse, watch a lot from my PC. Not continuously and that's when the problems begin: a pause of 15 minutes, many times a day, means the NODE ICON goes to STANDBY.
Short (PC) sounds I do not hear anymore. It takes 5 secondes before the Node Icon is awake...
I checked the Settings. There is no option for 'Standby'.
The optical input: 'Auto Sense' is ON. This was NOT necessary with Node N130, but at least it helps a little on the Icon.
Auto Sense is not very useful for me. I am used to playing music from Tidal Connect and watching TV (waiting for a news-program or just checking the Guide etc.). Auto Sense starts TV-sound. Bye bye music.
I hope Bluesound has a solution for the limited Standby-options of the Node Icon. I have not yet registered my Node Icon on Bluesound. Still in trial-stage. I wish to keep using the Icon but for the Standby-issue... this might become a deal-breaker (sorry).

The 5 second delay that you are experiencing might be from your amplifier starting up. If you need support from this, please reach out to us by sending us a support request using the BluOS app.
