Digital coax output doesn't work on the Node

I have noticed that digital coax output doesn't work at all when using the optical input on the Node. This works perfectly fine on the Node 2i, but not on the new Node.

I have the latest firmware and I have tried resetting to the factory settings. I have also tried two different optical cables and two different 3.5mm adapters.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I'm wondering is this caused by a bug in software or do I have a faulty Node.

  Hi Seppi,

  I use the optical input on the Node with the 3.5mm adapter. You have you use 3.5mm adapter when using the optical input.

  I use coax output to my Genelec speakers.

  Just to confirm - if you swap the NODE 2i with the connections you have your new NODE N130 setup with, both coax and optical work (ie in an identical setup, the NODE 2i will play to both connections but the N130 will only play out of optical)?

  Optical input -> Coax output works fine on the Node 2i, but not on the new Node.

  My dealer confirmed that they can reproduce the issue as well and that there is no workaround for it. It just doesn't work. I have logged a ticket to Bluesound support but I haven't got any reply from them.

  For the record, I was using a digital coax cable and getting dropouts on my Vault. I changed over to an optical out cable and now  it works fine. I am thinking the Vault output was faulty, as the coax works fine otherwise.

  My TV is connected to optical in, coax out is connected to my DAC. Then I switch to optical in BluOS. Works fine. To stream again you have to select some music service in BluOS.
  I hope this will help…
