Bluesound Vault 2i







Bluesound Vault 2i
The Bluesound Vault 2i offers the same great features and sound quality as the Node 2i streamer, but also adds the ability to rip CDs and store the resulting FLAC or WAV files on its built-in hard disk drive. You can also upload your existing digital downloads and have it store, play and serve up those as well.
