Nope. But I've been seeing hints on my Instagram feed. So I assume they have been reading ASR and are releasing a streaming endpoint with 120db SINAD and 4v balanced analog outputs?

Hi!

And I'm still waiting for them to make the promised Dirac for NAD MDC BluOS. When I bought my NAD M32 and the BluOS MDC board for it, the support said that there would soon be a Dirac, 4 years have passed and there is still no Dirac. If they read the ASR, then let them remember their promises! :mad:

The next generation of Node is rumored to drop this Year. So maybe new hardware and some software enhancements with expanded features and integration. Pure speculation.

I made the mistake of buying into Sonos gear years ago, then they all but obsoleted the generation I had. Never again will I buy into a closed, proprietary system like Bluesound or Sonos, or even Roon...

Totally. I'm okay with it in cases where it's a self contained easily swappable unit with a small cost, like a firetv stick. But hundreds of dollars and all the sudden my perfectly good speakers stop working!? No thanks.

Creative Labs did that to me about 30 years ago. Sound Blaster card. Just buy the new more expensive one. ...I suppose it was a DOS driver.

A message from Bluesound:

Hello,

Your case has been escalated to me.

To better explain: USB audio output will be supported on the NODE (N130) via a future software update. With the availability of USB audio output, we anticipate supporting MQA through a free software upgrade later. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact timeline for future development and releases.

Hope this helps clarify!
