I’m thinking of picking up a streamer. I already have a great DAC so I’m not interested in a steamer with a DAC. Also, don’t need a streamer with a headphone amp. SPDIF output greater preferred. If anyone has gone down this road, what have you you found that you like?
If you have DSD files that you will be accessing thru streamer (nas storage, etc), just know the Bluesound does not support. If non DSD, the Node is great for the money. I no longer have mine because I have all my SACDs ripped.
I have the 2i and with the right cables it performs way above it's very reasonable price point.
However, whilst the Node 2i is an exceptional value I have had communications from Bluesound that if a higher quality streamer is desired then the NAD range may be able to improve on sound quality.
But that is the limit of my experience on streamers
