Thanks, I will take a look.
Hi @Kacper , yes that dealer. If it is mine, I can assure you it is top quality. Quite new and performing at its best
Enjoy !!

@IvdZ Nice! It seems we are buying at the same place .
Last week I picked up 282/250DR over there.
@Kacper wow; brilliant system. Love the dealer; so much better then the previous ine from Tilburg
@IvdZ indeed, nice people, I feel comfortable over there too👌. I just have replaced SN2 and I must say - 282/250 it’s a stunning set .
@Kacper you have a stunning - and very well balanced - setup. You’re gonna enjoy for years and years. Audiovectors were always developed using Naim gear, so probably will match very well

@IvdZ thanks! what I do like and prefer with Audiovector’s , also with Naim gear - it’s sounds good with all kind of music (jazz, rock etc ….)
Yes, the optic Le one works, I don’t have a coax with 3.5 connection so can’t try that. Looks like I’ll move it one hopefully without any loss.
Thanks FF. I’ve not used a Bluesound but if I remember I’m not sure that has a USB out?
I had an Aries Mini for years and absolutely loved it. For easy of use for other family members I now have the new Bluesound Node feeding my Qutest. Lovely piece of kit.
And there is a USB out. And there is a 30 day trial period if you buy direct so you could go head to head with the Mini (I’ve never tried the internal DAC).
Thanks for the heads up.
I also have a Qutest which is fed by the Aries Mini. Think I’ll stay as I am and move the Hugo on. I don’t think I would have used the Hugo’s mobility as much as I thought when I had a rush of blood and bought it.
Yes, it certainly happens! But little is lost in the 2ndhand market luckily.
Is not the USB out capability due in a future firmware update for the Bluesound Node?
I’m not sure they have output capability with current firmware.
Just tried the USB on the Node - input only for attaching external HDD. Bluesound website mentions the USB in the Audio Out section……
Yes, subject to a later FW update.
Today I have come to the conclusion that I have hit the upgrade end point with the 252/SCDR/300 it’s brilliant, the Dave shines via this amp combo.
The SL2s have just disappeared within the music, mind blowing.
I hit a high point too yesterday when various recent changes (serviced crossovers and ND5XS2, Morgana DIN-XLRs, NAP135s) settled in and the whole system just clicked.
@carruthersesq @frenchrooster I indeed have a Bluesound Node 2i which is connected to a Qutest via optical (as recommended by my dealer, and also Chord). My Oppo UDP-205 is connected to the Qutest via BNC coaxial. In both case, connecting up the Chord bought a huge improvement over the “bare” unit.
The Node has no USB out, only in. I did have a home dem of a Hugo but I couldn’t get on with it and didn’t need the portability or headphone amp so opted for the cheaper Qutest.
You’ve essentially got the equivalent in Classic to my Olive set up. 52/SC/135/SBL but a generation on.
It was always a peak of what Naim could do. So no surprise that it feels like a great point to stop
