The Node 2i is a great streamer value (no real competition anywhere near its price range) particularly if you connect it to a good DAC. If you want to up the performance, there are non-destructive mods that allow you to use a higher quality SMPS from ifi or a LPS (ebay has a lot of excellent reasonably priced LPS options).
If you’re set on wifi, make sure you get it from a place with a good return policy. A lot of people don’t have issues but there are also a good number of people with issues. I had to switch over to a wired connection with my 2i after suffering wireless issues (the 2i is right next to the router and no other device in my house has similar issues).
