NODE 2i Wireless Multi-Room Hi-Res Music Streamer

The Gen 2i version brings a whole host of streaming improvements. Apple AirPlay 2 is now supported, just like aptX HD Bluetooth. The HD version of bluetooth aptX transmission supports 24-bit audio, making it the best quality Bluetooth connection to date. Another advantage is the adoption of dual-band wi-fi. The new wi-fi chip allows you to take advantage of the least noisy 5 GHz band. This results in faster connection times and fewer interruptions than other network traffic.
