The Bluesound Node is a good choice of streamer. It is easy to set up and use and has a good app, almost as good as SONOS. It has a decent DAC, but you might want to use a separate DAC and use one of the digital outputs from the Node to a separate DAC. It has a remote and a headphone jack and control LEDs for necessary feedback for setup and updates, although no display. It also has inputs so it can function as a sort of preamp (Peachtree uses it as such for one of its GaN amplifiers). If you are looking for a good DAC to mate with it, the Denefrips Ares 12th or Enyo are good choices or one of the newer S.M.S.L. DACs are good options. (Knowing you are coming from the AirTight-Devore tube and high sensitivity speaker part of the hobby, I can still recommend it.)
Streaming Curious
I'm a vinyl listener that plays an occasional CD. Im interested in trying out a streaming service and wonder if the Bluesound Node would be a good testing vehicle for me. My main objective will be to see if the modern interface is really compelling, but SQ will obviously influence my decision. I have an Air Tight ATM-300 amp and DeVore O/96 speakers, so I'm concerned it might not show off digital very well...?
