For months users have been railing against the audio brand’s app revamp — you’ll find some very intense discussion on the Sonos subreddit, many with subject lines like “The real reason why the new Sonos experience is a fail.” This week, The Verge suggested the company may even bring back an old version of its app. Meanwhile, Engadget noted that Sonos is so concerned about fixing the app that it’s delaying two products bookmarked for holiday release — and laying off 100 people.

Network music streamers may not be the most thrilling devices to look at (OK, the Wiim Ultra is pretty sweet). But if you’ve got an older hi-fi system you love, they’re the best way to add modern wireless music streaming and even multiroom smarts. Trouble is, the really good ones are notoriously expensive, running anywhere from $400 to $1,500 depending on features. That’s what makes the Bluesound Node Nano so enticing. At $299, it’s far more affordable than the company’s $549 Node — which until now was its most affordable streamer — and yet it still delivers the core multiroom, hi-res audio streaming capabilities that have earned Bluesound a loyal fan base.
