    Bluesound noed review

    I've benn using three months. I've satisfied it. because it is very convenient. the app is simple and user kindly. First of all, The connectivity is very good. I've been using Qobuz and bugs music. when I opend the BluOS app, It's aleardy connected. I feel like it has one drawback for me. The sound is a bit cold. So I connected it via coacial to another Amp and used its DAC, which solved the issue.
