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.

op

node 2i digital out is just fine to feed the pontus venus or terminator, so long as the wifi or ethernet feed used by the node is good

other streamers won’t do anything better unless they have i2s format, which may (i emphasize may) be preferable as clock and bitstream are transmitted separately

you can of course try more expensive streamers... please come back tell us what you find :)
