Given your money I would buy the streamer. I went from a Bluesound Node N130 to a used Innuos Zen MK3 and it made a noticeable difference in sound. Now given my money I’d put it under my mattress and wait until it’s safe to come out. Seriously a used streamer is the way to go if you can in my experience.
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?
Having decided to keep my Merlin TSM MMs, I was going to upgrade my streamer (Bluesound Node 2 ---original version) and my amp ( Billie....original version). However, recent stock market activity has my IRA in a shambles, so I am only going to upgrade only one of the two.
Any thoughts on which to start with? I was considering both the Bluesound Node Icon, and an upgraded Billie (used....after new one comes out)
What say you?
