P30 was more cumbersome than on the iPad

shortcomings are software related and therefore fixable
performing some other tasks can be confusing and tedious
of getting up and changing CDs and records
a photo preamp was not included with the Powernode
firing up the CD player or the turntable
There is no built-in microphone
a nearby choice for the TV system
it can even be set up to power the rear speakers
forlorn in my state of not having bought a new instrument
crappy User Interface design

DAC performance in the Power node
requires an Ethernet connection to your home router
