Streaming Curious

Well Tempered Verselex, Shelter 501mk3, Line Magnetic LP-33 Phono stage...  that's what I'd be comparing to.

I could add that I'm partial to Blues and Vocals, but listen to almost everything genre wise.  For me the air, soundstage, and musicality of my system are the key aspects.  From what I read the node may not give me much on the first two, but is musical.  

Thanks to all...  The Node is on CL for 1/2 price.  It's the current version (3) and essentially new.  For the price I think I'll give it a try.  I can put it in the shop later and stream some variety out there even if it doesn't lead to a better SQ streamer.

I really like the vinyl ritual and listening to an entire album or at least a side...  even with the CD remote I tend to jump around and feel less satisfied when I'm done listening, so I'm really just seeing if this class of source is interesting or overly distracting for me at this point.

Thanks again

I'd like to renew the discussion a bit and focus more on where I'd want to look to get similar SQ to my vinyl setup.  I've heard a few streamers and in general think they sound very compressed and 2D.  The depth and air of vinyl is completely absent I feel.  From what I read, you can get very analog-like resolution from digital, but the last vapors of signal are what I'm not sure of when you make it digital.  I'd like to do some research and listen to something I'd actually be happy with back to back with vinyl on my setup.

I really don't know much about streamer/DAC separates or integrated.  I'm going to try the Bluenote, but think I'll start looking for a higher SQ replacement now just in case.  I like to get used equipment if I can, but it's not mandatory.  Suggestions welcomed...
