Streamer to go with the Denafrips Terminator?

What is a streamer good enough to not limit the Denafrips Terminator?

Right now I have a Node2i.   On the The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel review of the Pontus there's a discussion where Hans says that the Node2i digital output is a limitation on the Pontus.  Oddly he recommends the NAD, which doesn't even have digital outputs, and leaves people confused.

I don't need anything fancy since the Terminator will be my dac.  Just something good enough to not limit the sound quality.  I basically stream all of my music through TidalConect on BluOS.

Here's the video and the discussion is below the video.

A RasPi 4 can sound better than the Node 2i and cheaper. If you can do the work.
Wrong. I have sn i2s streamer and it sounds closer to the RasPi than the BluNode.
They both have better power supplies than the lowly 2i.
