I started with the Apple TV, then switched to my computer with a Bifrost DAC via USB and then moved up to the Node2 and now I have the 2I.
The Node 2i is a significant improvement to all other options I listed above and for me - well worth the upgrade.
If you use good power and interconnect cables on the Node 2i it will surprise you even further.
I also use small cones underneath to isolate it from the shelf
I was so impressed I also purchased the Power Node 2 to replace my A/V system and the Pulse Mini for outdoor music - and never looked back
The Node 2i is so good I have no plans to upgrade any further
- i.e. unless they come out with another version :-)
Hope that helps - Steve
