What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.

I am currently using a BlueSound Node 2i.  I am working with a knowledgeable sales person at The Cable Company and he convinced me to purchase a power cable and digital cable and us the DAC inside my ARCAM AVR550 because he said the DAC inside my ARCAM is of much higher quality.  I am still nervous about giving up MQA.  He told me MQA is primarily a marketing tool and the sound difference will be noticeable by adding the cables I ordered.  I am still waiting for delivery.  

I have not had the ability to hear other streamers costing so much more.  I wonder if you can really hear a difference in some costing $2,000 to $3,000.  If so, what will I hear that will be significantly better than what I have?

@docaudio_mc my streamer has a dac and preamp,  one stop shop. 

Cambridge Audio CXN V2. The $700 I paid was well worth the cost...

Hello everyone,  I have a BluOS Node 2i , with a Wireworld C-7 power cord…used strictly as a streamer into a Esoteric K03 via the coax rca input….. I took a chance and purchased a Snake River Boomslang digital cable….when it was on sale…. And  I could not believe what a difference a cable made !! Absolutely stunned !! 

No plans to change at this moment…..! Eventually things will plateau….and trickle down technology  Hopefully will be more affordable !? 
 

All the best to everyone !
