Question regarding USB input & output functionality in new Node 130?

Gino Vairo

Hi, I currently use a Node2i with a HDD via USB input as a source for my music library (mostly HiRes files). I also use a shared folder on my iMAC via my MESH WiFi network, but prefer the sound via the direct HDD USB connection (also seems more stable). The Node2i is connected to my system via an external DAC. I am very keen to connect the Node to my DSP device (for room correction) as I do my other sources for my system. I have an unused USB input for my DSP device I could use to do this and am very interested to hear the new Node130 will have USB output capability (once the software upgrade comes through). This would enable me to connect the Node130 to my DSP device for room correction. After this long winded intro my questions are: 1. For the Node130 how can I continue to use the external HDD as my music library source if I use the USB output to connect to the DSP? 2. Will a software upgrade also potentially enable the same USB output functionality for the earlier Node2i model? Thanks for any guidance.

    Thanks Seppi,

    I’m grateful you took the time to reply to my query. As I mentioned I am using a shared network folder for my music also, but find I prefer the sound of the directly connected HDD as my source and also I get occasional stutters/drop outs in music via the networked source (my wifi network is very fast so i don’t think its a deficiency there). Is there any way Bluesound (engineers?) can answer the original questions relating to whether it’s possible to use a USB input as well as USB output fort the Node130? Also, whether the software upgrade for the 130 could also enable USB output from a Node 2i?

    Thanks again.

    Gino
