It can but its not worth the effort!I perceive that asking Alexa to control all my music is not on because as far as I am aware it cannot control music on a NAS or similar local storage

Yes as I said all a bit pointless if not in the same room. Can have the greatest display in the world but no use if a wall is between you and it.I agree. Equally it could be a tablet.
I'd rather use a smart phone/tablet, than have a screen on the piece of kit.
Was not even sure it was capable.It can but its not worth the effort!
It may help reassure you that I was seriously considering the Cambridge because it looked like a proper piece of hi-fi. Someone recommended the Bluesound and I initially dismissed it because it looked so underwhelming. What changed my mind was the uselessness of the display on the Cambridge because I’d have to get up and walk over to it to read it.Thank you to all who have replied it just makes life easier if one can hear from people who have the experience with this sort of gear.
Not sure I understand. If you want to use the Node 2i to control what gets 'sent' to a smart speaker then no, you can't do it. You can send music from the 2i via Bluetooth but that's about it.I assume if I have a smart speaker in a room I can also select that, and if so does it matter the manufacturer of this speaker?
Simply that if all your devices are from the same 'manufacturer' then you have the option of defining control groups i.e. controlling several devices in unison.Not sure what you mean specifically in the synchronisation part
The Yamaha may well suit you fine but the Bluesound is a much better device in terms of its control app and DAC quality.And am struggling to see the difference in say a Node 2i and perhaps a Yamaha MusicCast WXA50, amplifier bit excluded, as to how they would suit me
