People on forums such as this have a nasty habit of ignoring budget and simply recommending one of the devices they have experience with and like, or worse, something they’ve read about and which is well reviewed. These are great devices, but they are more than twice the budget you stated of 200. Please don’t feel that in order to get “audiophile” quality sound you need to spend $500+ on a Bluesound Node or Aurelic Aires Mini. If a person wants greater than 24/192, then there will always be the more esoteric brands to satisfy their lustīut eventually I believe Bluesound will catch up with todays technology at some point. Until sample rates greater than 24/192 become common place in the various streaming services and for the purchase of digital music (I’m thinking "iTunes like" outlets here) then a single band solution will suffice in this case. Personally, I believe the people at Bluesound have found something that works and they are sticking with it. Granted, cell phones seem to roll out every 5 minutes and use the very latest technologies, but they have their problems and their development effort, by comparison, is enormous. a simple change to the silicon chip) can result in component failure, unleashing a flurry of calls to the support personnel.

I get your point that devices these days should be dual band, but having worked in the manufacturing end of micro electronics - it’s tough to roll out up to date products, because the end-to-end process gets extremely complex and in today’s world of integrated circuits - what seems like a simple "Die Revision" (i.e. Specifically in relation to the component connected to it success really depends on the router selected and the location in which it is being used. Dual band solves the congestion and bandwidth aspects, but also suffer from the coverage issue

I think the bottom line is that all current wireless solutions are far from perfect. If possible, we recommend it be connected directly to your router via a wired Ethernet connection for best performance, as moving from wireless connection to wireless connection can cause issues over weaker networks.Īnd a response from one happy Bluesound customer:Įxtremely happy with my ASUS RT-AC66U Dual Band 3x3 802.11AC Gigabit Router haven’t had a dropout since I got itīut even their success would be dependent on the proximity of their router in relation to the Bluesound device. It is good to note that the source for your local music can also be affected by poor wireless signal strength.Unfortunately, I believe my router is responsible (it was cheep and cheerful). I have also been told the 5GHz signal does not penetrate walls as effectively as the 2.4 GHz signal from both an Audio store that installs gear and a friend in the computer sales business.Īnd If the trend is towards dual band, then other devices like phones will also use them and the 5GHz band will suffer from the same "congestion and interference" that 2.4GHz suffers today in the not to distant future.Įven though I have problems playing 24/192 resolution files wirelessly, Bluesound specifies their wireless solution works at 2.4GHz. 5GHz provides faster data rates at a shorter distance, whereas 2.4GHz offers coverage for farther distances, but may perform at slower speeds The primary differences between the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies are range and bandwidth. Granted, there may be some advantages to dual band - mainly because currently there are many more 2.4 GHz devices than 5 GHz.

first, my apologies for the long post but my analytical mind got the better of me.
