Back to vinyl need phono stage help!
unless you are dead set on staying with Hana EH (which I also have in addition to Koetsu Black), while the  Decware ZP3 is a great phono pre-amp, if you have to start adding SUT, you will be up to $2K. For that money, you can look at a used Manle...

Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Politics aside can we as a community just focus on the technology! He is just looking for the respective and educated opinion of this community to help him make the right decision. Thank you.

Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac
I am sorry. Have the Bluesound Node 2i  as an input to my cable service which is connected to home router via a cat 5 cable. I stand corrected.  
Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac
I agree with Parker, don't think its the Node 2. Have mine connected to Tubadour DAC via my USB line from cable co. from DAC to Node via coax cable to integrated amp and use my iPad wirelessly with Tidal music apps.  Hole this helps.
