Hello, as the new Bluesound devices, mostly the Node Icon, would suit me great as a preamplifier with the XLR output, I want to ask if there is a plan to implement a param. Loudness function in the next time? This is the only thing missing for me, as I listen mostly on very loe volumes in my apartment. I tried also Dirac on other devices, but without the param. Loudness it‘s always a hassle, so I‘m sticking atm to a Rme Adi-2 as preamp and DAC. But it would be great to symply up my system with only the Node Icon and a power amp.

  Agree completely. A proper loudness function (based on Fletcher-Munson or ISO 226 curves?) would make a big difference for low-volume listening. My dad’s Buchardt A500 actives have this built in, and it makes such a big difference. Its a damn shame that my Epos es-14n are less engaging at "dinner party background-volumes", than a couple of Sonos play ones.
  
  In such a competitive streamer market, features like that actually matter and adds great value.
