Bluesound Node,qobuz and uniti2

Posted by: Mohamed Amin on 19 October 2014

I was browsing the internet for new ideas to stream qobuz to my Naim uniti2 and came across The Bluesound Node, a network player—which  supports MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, WMA-L, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF in resolutions up to 24/192, gapless playback, cloud services including Qobuz,and  Deezer 

it is interesting as it is the only Sonos competator in the market, but it supports24/192 

 

I wonder if any of you has any experience using it with a Naim product , price wise it is not far off Sonons , any thoughts are welcomed

Take a raspberry pi, put xbmc on it and use the plugin for qobuz.

Simple Audio is also worth considering

I also came across Olive one looks pretty impressive specs but Qobuz integration not before March 2015

Well, French company and, in between strikes very, difficult to take too seriously, despite some good quality HR files at the mo. Naim already have Focal to contend with! Or is it the other way round?
