Anyone got a bluesound powernode 2i, node 2i or an SVS sound base.
Looking for a one box solution for work, needs to be able to stream Tidal, dab radio, Bluetooth from a phone for parties, wifi or network port not fussed. Ideally have a toslink in for other items and a usb storage in, so can just leave a big fat usb stick full of flacs.
Noticed that pretty much every sub £1k streamer doesn't come with a remote, bit of a ballache when you simply want to adjust volume without having to unlock phone each time!
Also realise powernode is stand alone, has its own amp like the svs. Like that svs seems to have stacks of power (class d type), have fairly sensitive speakers that don't seem fussy anyways.
Basically bluesound seems to have the whole budget streamer thing nailed, and using an external dac they apparently sound fine. The SVs doesn't have a USB in, apparently the app is from the before times and also has annoying flashy led lights front, rear and on top! and none have remotes.
