Using my TV as a node, buy a streamer?


I am currently using an IPad pro WIFi to my Samsung Smart TV and into a Moon DAC/Integrated Amp.  The TV's volume controls are by passed.  Would an external device like a Node be a noticable improvement.  I'm a vinyl/CD  guy and this set up is for my 2nd system. 

THanks in advance for the input.

I did this and was shocked how bad the results were. The rendering in my reasonably modern Samsung TV swapped L/R channels. It also resampled the audio to 48khz and 16 bit  no matter the true file specs. This may been uncommon but I will never use that setup again.
