+1 for both the Auralic Aries Mini and the Bluesound Node 2. I own both units. I originally bought the Aries Mini for it's DSD capabilities. Since I have now replaced my entire SONOS system with Bluesound, I now have a couple of Node 2's as well. I can confirm that they both sound great with Tidal MQA streaming. Bluesound has better software at this point and Auralic has said that they will NOT develop an Android app, if that matters to you...
Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound
Bluesound Node 1 has been great with streaming Tidal. I’ve upgraded my system and believe that I can likely do better with the sound quality. This is especially given that Tidal is adding more and more hi def music.
I’m thinking the Bluesound Node 2 as the natural upgrade. I would like to know if there are other options to get the best sound. I can’t spend more than $500 on the equipment.
