Congrats! It’s a great piece. Looking forward to your impressions.
Wherever you got it from should know about warranty details if it was an authorized seller. But congrats either way!
One year parts and labor, according to the owner's manual:
Thanks for that, MikeyFresh.
The only owner's manual I received was a four page quick start guide. Thinking there must be an actual manual somewhere, I went to the Bluesound site and clicked on the download manual option. What I got was the same quick start guide I already had. No warranty info to be seen.
Can't have everything, I suppose.

Crutchfield includes a link to the owner's manual for darn near everything they sell, right in the product description. In this case it's just below the bold type face "What's in the box".
Thats where the screenshot above came from, if you look at the Safari browser's address bar you'll see it's a PDF of the owner's manual on the Crutchfield site. I'd download a copy if I were a Node 2i owner and got nothing but a quick start guide, it's attached below.
Done. Thanks for the help.
I'm still pretty new to this whole streaming thing but I definitely like what I'm hearing. Right now I'm using the Bluesound downstairs with a pair of original Tannoy Eatons, an F5 amp, and (for the next month or so) an older Adcom preamp. So far this set-up strikes me as being more or less on par with the KEF LS 50Ws I'm using upstairs. Not exactly the same of course, but both very pleasant to listen to and easy to use.
The Bluesound replaces a Raspberry 3b+/Hifiberry DAC Pro that I liked just fine but unfortunately lacked the skill set to keep functioning consistently. Hence, my purchase of the Bluesound, which has the advantage of (so far, fingers crossed) actually working well. Additionally, I'd have to say the DAC in the Bluesound strikes my ears as being a definite sonic upgrade to the Hifiberry DAC, not that there was anything particularly problematic with how the Raspberry set-up sounded.
Anyway, it's all positive at this point. And now that I have a manual, thanks to MikeyFresh, I'm actually clear on what all the different lights mean!
A few tips from a Node2 user (me). There are occasional hiccups with it. Sometimes it just needs to be turned off and on again. I leave mine on for the most part but sometimes turn it off by holding down the play/pause button on top until the lights go out. Sometimes it locks up a bit and needs you to reboot your tablet or phone, whatever you're controlling it with. I had two wifi networks in my last place, the one from the router and a repeater of that signal. It did not like being on different parts of it and though it would talk to the tablet, the playback would have holdups and freezes. Took me awhile to figure that one out as I didn't know my tablet was automatically joining the repeater signal.
Sounds best when volume control is turned off in settings. Not a huge difference. If you ever notice it locked up and not playing, a number of times it'll just be updating itself. And do try to keep it updated, as it runs more smoothly that way.
Enjoy!
I bought my Node 2i from Crutchfield rather than Amazon because Crutchfield offers great product support. Amazon customer support is pathetic and don't even bother if it's technical issue. Guys at Crutchfield know their stuff and are knowledgeable when it comes to the Node 2i.
Amazon Music HD is worth the money streamed from the Node 2i into a decent DAC.
