The streamers job is to interface with the service in a robust way.
Node2i is very stable and 0s and 1s are all the same really.
Upgrading the DAC will make a big difference.
Get a MQA DAC if you are interested in using Tidal
Streaming 102
Happy holidays! I posted here 2 weeks ago about entering the streaming domain and got many helpful replies. I did get a used Bluesound Node2 and have been streaming Quobuz. I can't believe the sound, especially for such an entry level product, however I have been intrigued by the reviews of the Shiit Yggdrasil DAC. If I connect the Node2 to it would I get the full benefit or should I consider another streamer? A good friend has the Lumin T1 and I have heard the T2 is even better but as I say I the Shiit seems like the way to go. Thanks in advance for more replies, Joe.
