Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC

Has anyone used the Bluesound Node or Vault for music streaming connected to a good outboard DAC and respond to how good the combo sounds. I see the Bluesound has great connectivity and streaming options with a good user interface. Curious if using with a good dac is worth the money. 
I'm using Ayre 5xeMP preamp,  Mark Levinson 532h amp and Revel Performa floorstanders. Cardas interconnects.  
Currently using OPPO 105d as my music player and streamer,  don't like it disconnects from my tablet app control a lot and hoping for better resolution. I use Tidal HiFi for streaming and usb hard drive for stored music files. 
Appreciate relevant replies. Thanks Audiogon group

For Roon I use a Mac Mini, ultraRendu with UpTone linear power supply, and Ayre Codex DAC with balanced analog to an Ayre A7e integrated that drives KEF LS50s.  I use an iPad for control.  Could I just run a Node 2i to the Codex DAC and expect the same quality audio?
