Title: ANY BLUESOUND SYSTEM OWNERS OUT THERE?
Post by: soundhd on 16 Jan 2024, 05:04 pm
I am a new member...well I'm not new (75) but new to this forum....
Anyway have owned a Bluesound home wireless music system for going on 3 years now (my first venture into wireless music sources) and I am happy to say I am very happy with the system. a Vault 2B; (2) Power Node 2's; (2) Node 2i's and a Pulse Speaker/streamer).  Currently have 61,000+ tracks (songs) in the system (using FLAC files). Just wondering who else has a Bluesound system?

I've been using a Vault (nearly full) and a node, but sold the Pulse Soundbar as it didn't work well at all for TV dialog (but for music was a big improvement). The latest PC controller (4.2.0) was/is a disaster and I had to go back to the last version that worked (4.0.2). When they release a newer, later revision # that works PnP, I'll try it. Hopefully that won't take forever. No complaints about the sound quality.

I use a NAD M50.2 digital player/vault that is part of the same BluOS ecosystem. I run Roon using the NAD as an endpoint and have Roon ROCK on a dedicated NUC. The NAD stores my music on internal drives in a RAID array.
I do not understand why, but replacing the generic Ethernet cable between my NAD and my router with a high-end M101 Nova LAN cable made a huge improvement that even non-audiophiles are stunned by.

Welcome aboard! 
I’m somewhat invested in the ecosystem: Vault 2i, Pulse Flex, and a module on a NAD T75.  I’m considering moving the Vault to the desktop system and replacing it in the main system with a non BlueSound streamer but I’m in no hurry.

I guess I'm pretty committed to BluOs.  Five Bluesound units in current use (a Vault 2i and 4 Nodes), and a Pulse mini for out on the deck once warm weather gets here.  Three of the systems use external DACs.

Since upgrading to BluOS4 seems with Amazon Music Prime, only some of my playlists show up in the BluOS UI… but if I go to directly to the Amazon Music App directly all my playlists are there.
Any idea on how to get all of them to show up in the BluOS App ?
I’ve deleted & reinstalled, rebooted, looked on Google and tried all the suggestions and still no luck.
Anyone else experiencing this and possibly have a fix ?
