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.

Thanks everyone.

I've heard the Pi Digione is definitely better than the Node 2i but definitely worse than a dedicated stream like the Sonore OpticalRendu, Aries G1, Lumin, etc.

Sonore OpticalRendu seems like my best option for a streamer, major step up in quality without breaking the bank.  (Which has already been broken to get the Terminator.)

@sbank Those Sound Labs A3's -- wow!
