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


Exploring digital after a lifetime of vinyl only systems. Have been enjoying tidal through an xDSD and headphones and now I want to step up to something good for my home system, Herron amps and pre and Harbeth 30.1s. Any suggestions? I’d spend up to $1500 used for a single box solution. Needs to be WiFi because I can't hardware ethernet.

I’m sure you are hearing different results comparing the two DACs.
However I guess I don’t quite understand the whole Dac feeding another Dac 
thing either. I have a Laptop in my system that streams to a Dac. I realize not everyone wants to use a Laptop so hence the appeal of the Node2i.
Although you can also stream to a Apple TV or Chromecast audio device from your phone or iPad with decent results. 
One last thing Schiit Modi 3 is (IMHO) is a wonderful sounding Dac for very little $$. YMMV. Good luck finding the right combo!
