What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal?

And the dealer pronounced, Thou Shalt Spend More, and Thou Shalt Spend It With Me.

@elizabeth There's lots of truth in what you said. 

I would go more in the direction of something like a Bluesound Node 2i and a decent external DAC. 

I should say, that's what I've done in my system.  Streamers seem to be a pretty fast moving target with new services and ways of connecting being added all the time.  What's great now might be quickly obsolete.  I had a nice (at the time) Marantz streamer and had I not got rid of it when I did, it would be next to worthless now from a resale standpoint and would not meet my current wants.

No one can answer your questions about why you prefer one DAC or streaming source over another.  Make your own decision and enjoy the music.
