I'm looking for a streamer that, 

A.I can plug into my own DAC

B. Plug my 2TB external USB hard drive into to play my rips of my 3000 odd CDs.

C. Stream Qobuz, Amazon Music and Radio Paradise.

D. Control with an Android app.

It's replacing a Bluesound Node 2 that has ceased to be.

LMK what you've got !

No chance of fixing node then?

Mine stopped working until I replaced power board with Fidelity Audio upgrade.

I'd also add ongoing support/update for changes in streaming services/emergence of new services etc. Having Tidal in case you find they have more albums/artists you like, or more in hi Res might be useful too.

@Pure_Carbon

I have the power board here from my now pimped Node2 if you want to try swapping it in to see if yours will fire back up again. It's possible that it's the fuse (dinky little surface mount thing) thats blown, one has been sorted by @Fourlegs

On the Node, It's the red light of death.

If it were a fuse, I'd get nothing?

The forums suggest it's a cap , or something on the board.

All suggestions appreciated, but I'm not the man to try and fix it, my skills are not with  soldering iron etc.

Is there anything which would lead you to prefer another streamer to a Node? Otherwise, replace with same. No-one else here as reported relilability issues so it would be a shame if you were put off the breed because of this failure.

If you want to swap my power board in to see if it sorts it (no soldering involved, just a few screws and two connectors) PM me your addy and I will send it to you.
