so the me box s is now gone replaced by the blue sound node this is a much more expensive dedicated audio streamer this is really just for audio it doesn't do any video or anything like that and this is i guess it's an alternative to the sonos port it's a standalone streamer that loads in spotify connect and airplay there's no chromecast there are many other things it does but we are concentrating on spotify connect and airplay because this comes with an app called the blue os app and it does not integrate spotify neither does it integrate apple music the only third-party app that integrates apple music is the sonos app nobody else can get near it and it's the same with spotify as well so they really need their own sort of little streaming systems which is why we're not so concerned about the app that comes with this we're just concerned that it does spotify connect and apple airplay this node does not have a usb output it only has coaxial which we're not going to cover and toslink which we've already covered so we're coming out of the back of this node toslink digital along our tiles link cable and into the back of the dac here which then sends analog out to the amp so the da converter is here so yeah i think now we can go to the listening position and play some spotify and some apple music so iphone spotify with a playlist i want to play let's say this song and you can see i've already got it hooked into my note here see just down here is where we select that as the output device i can bring it back to the phone if i want to oh god it sounds horrible send it back to the node spotify connect in action let's pause that let's go to apple music starts on the phone i'll just take the volume down a bit now this is obviously apple music we need to use airplay so we're using this little airplay icon here click that and there's our node so now we're going to send the stream to the node over there
