Amazing performance and flexibility

I previously owned the earlier 2i version of the Powernode, so I am quite familiar with the Bluesound app and feature /function set of the product. I decided to upgrade to this new n330 Powernode mainly to get a bit more power and ease of use (with the touch presets on the top panel). But let me tell you folks, this thing is even better than I expected. Yes, the power was increased by a 3rd which many will notice as I did as my setup includes bookshelf speakers of moderate sensitivity. The increase in power to now 80WPC provides a quite noticeable step up in dynamics and overall soundstage with my KEF Q350's. I would add that I also notice greater clarity in the mids and upper range sonics. This makes voices more clear and removed any slight veil that may have been there with the prior unit. Finally, I want to give two thumbs up to Bluesound for revamping the top panel touch screen to include 5 preset selections. This enables one to select sources (such as Phono, CD, or Tidal, etc.) without needing to go into the app. And the volume slider is also much better than the single "button" on the 2i. Overall, I am actually blown away by how these improvements have produced a far superior product overall. You can spend 2X, 4X on steaming amplifiers from high end companies and not do much better then the incredible value of the Powernode.
