Phone to receiver, or streamer?


I'm streaming music from my phone to Marantz 8012 receiver and it sounds great. Just sending via bluetooth, no complaints. 

If I were to purchase something like the Bluenote node 2i and connect via ethernet etc. do you believe the sound quality improvement would justify the $550? 

I'm assuming the DAC in the 2i would be an improvement over the Marantz, but not certain. 

Thanks!

Your phone has physical limitations on sound quality.  Bluetooth streaming is not the end all.  Bluesound has a 30 day guarantee.  Try for yourself.  They wouldn't do this if they didn't have confidence.
