1.  option to turn off ssh access for security reasons.  seems on by default.  if all devices have the same password then this will become public knowledge at some point.

2. wait for unit to be fully powered up before starting to play track - when the powernode is in standby and you browse through your music library and play a song,  it takes a short while for the node to power up, but the first few seconds of the song have already elapsed when the powernode springs into life.

3. option to turn off automatic firmware updates -  in case of release of a dodgy firmware.  some of us prefer to wait and see

4.  the app needs work.  but i see from another thread that major updates are planned. so i'll wait and see about that.

  Hi Neil

  Thanks for your feedback - Security is a priority for us but SSH is required for internal product development reasons. Rest assured we are aware of this.

  The POWERDNODE will wake from standby the second you start looking in the App. Intermittent muting should not be a problem. When the player is grouped with other players, this creates a synch timing issue in multiroom playback if it were implemented.

  We encourage you to implement and update your firmware as each firmware release goes through a multiweek QA testing phase. Please upgrade with confidence when new features are added.

  I just tried this again and on a single room set up and can replicate it.   I have also found in your help pages

  With amplifier standby enabled you may notice a small delay when beginning playback on your BluOS device as the amplifier is warming up. To disable this feature and allow more immediate playback on your BluOS device out of standby you can go to Settings > Player > Amplifier Standby. 

   

  I understand this would be normal behaviour for an external source, but not for files played from a NAS library accessed through the app.

  It would seem that the N330 device only resumes from standby once play is pressed. 

   In the grand scheme of things this is not a big issue but is different behaviour from my  naim streamer.
