Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault

I'd like to ask for some advice/feedback for anyone knowledgeable about the Bluesound Node and Vault. I'm trying to decide between the two and I can't understand why the Vault costs what it does. From my point of view (please correct me), you pay $700 more for the Vault to get a CD ripper and a 2TB hard drive (which costs $65 on Amazon), and LOSE wifi support. I get that it can be more convenient to stick CDs into the Vault to rip them, but outside of that why would I (or anyone) not just buy the Node and rip my CDs using my computer? There are pretty simple ways using software to get a bit perfect rip using a computer. If the Vault was $200 more I could see it, but I'm totally lost why that product has a $700 markup over a Node. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Well, seems like I’m SOL.  Tech support not available today, reopening tomorrow but I have to go to work and Tech Support won’t help unless you are at home.  That’s not going to happen for a while

There's  always  the  last  resort  factory  reset.

I, too, have been having issues with my Bluesound app/Nodes.
Spotify and Deezer have skipping. To their credit, both companies(Spotify and Bluesound) have been pursuing the issue, though it still hasn't been corrected.
@mahler,
I suggest you contact Bluesound and request a TimeViewer session. They can take control of the app and see what is going on, as well as try to reset everything. I don't know if they can remotely connect while you are at work, but there might be a way.

Factory reset didn’t work either.

The only other thing I can think of is the update might have gotten corrupted during download and locked it up and it thinks its  still updating flashing green/ red,  did you try downloading the manual update and perform it by usb stick to overwrite. Might also be a problem with the newest update and vault 2.
