Audiophiles Dream
Posted .Audiophiles Dream Over the years many of us have amassed a large number of our favorite music on CDs, even though it used to be a good option, in todays day and age it seems a bit outdated. You need change the CD when you want to listen to something else and when you move to another place you have to drag all your music collection with you. Well, Bluesound came up with a great solution with the Bluesound Vault 2i. The Vault allows you to rip, store, and stream all your favorite music CDs into one convenient device all without a need for a computer. Now, let’s go over some of the features PROS and CONS of the Bluesound Vault 2i. Specs: The Vault measures in at about 3.5 inches in Height, 8.5 in Width and 7.5 in Depth and roughly weighs about 4 lbs. and comes in two color options black and white. The Vault has built-in storage of 2 terabytes, but you also have the option of adding an external storage via the two USB slots in the back. The Vault offers a variety of output options 3.5mm audio, Coaxial digital audio, Ethernet, RCA, Toslink optical, USB x 2, Micro USB and lastly Bluetooth. Features: The vault offers the option to connect your favorite online music service provider and also offers a ton a free online radio and music options. The vault is also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home Kit, Siri and google home. I don’t not have an Amazon Alexa, or Apple Home kit but I did not encounter any issues connecting to my Google Home devices and was able to use the Vault on my Bluetooth headphones, soundbar and even my Bluetooth soundbar built-in to my kitchen refrigerator and the sound was amazing on all my devices. The vault offers high resolution sound quality in a variety of playable formats such as AAC, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, MP3, MQA, OGG, Opus, WAV, WMA, WMA Lossless. The best feature of the Vault is its ability to rip and store and stream all your favorite CDs. On the provided 2 terabytes of space you can rip and store almost 5000 CDs as a FLAC format, that’s a lot of storage space for your CDs. You can customize your playlist as you like using the BluOS app. So, far I have ripped almost about 20 CDs on to the Vault and they all work great and sound amazing. The only thing I noticed was that the ripping process was a bit slow, but not terribly slow, as long as it preserves the integrity and quality of music, which it did, I didn’t mind. The BlueOS app is probably the only thing I had encountered and issue with. I must say its not user friendly and I had to google stuff to figure out how to connect certain things. In my opinion the BluOS app could use some improvements to make things a bit easier to find and to connect Bluetooth devices, but this should be an easy fix. PRO- High Resolution Audio Storage Capacity – 2 Terabytes Network Streaming CD Ripping Ability Multiple audio outputs Multiple Playable formats CON- BluOS app – Not user friendly at all All in all, the Bluesound Vault 2i is great product for any audiophile. I would highly recommend anyone in the market and anyone looking to cut down on their CDs collection to definitely check this unit out.

Spend you money elsewhere

Quality2 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5I purchased this item because of its advertised ability to rip and store CDs. I have over 250 CDs in an player and wanted to be able to store them digitally. I found this unit very difficult to navigate. It comes with no manual so you have to go online try to find an answer to the simplest of questions. It will not simply play one CD and advance to the next; you must build play list, which I also found hard to navigate. For such an expensive unit, I cannot say it is worth the money. Customer support is minimally helpful. Would not recommend this product.

Love my Vault
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I bought mine with the assistance of Kevin in Magnolia at a Best Buy in NJ. He helped us out with many things & did a great job. I have this set up with Bowers & Wilkins speakers. It has a terabyte of memory to store burned CDs but can stream music from my phone or iPad easily. Since it connects with Bluetooth and I walk away with my phone, I bought a cheap iPad just to have next to the equipment. I can stream Spotify, etc., from there. And guests can also easily select music, or connect with their own phones and play from their own apps & playlists. Next: I want to get the power nodes and set up in other rooms.
