Glad you got things sorted out. I think we’ve all experienced the momentary panicked and/or frustrated feelings of having done exactly that. Don’t feel badly. I once spent the better part of an hour in increasing panic only to ultimately (and with great relief) discover I was plugged into the slave! I had to buy my lady dinner for having endured the event.

I think the Node/Tidal/DSP5K combo is one of the highest performance values available. I also recommend that you try out the free MQA channels of Radio Paradise on the Node. Do you control your volume in the BluOS app or on the 5000’s?
