Tidal and Streaming player


I just started playing with Tidal Hifi and wow.  I have been out of this for 10 years and I am impressed.  Now I am thinking about getting a streaming player that has the capacity to store songs as well.

I saw the Bluesound stuff and liked it but what are the real options out there on a budget like the Bluesound?
I do like the possibility of the having a built in amp like the Powernode.

Thanks glennewdick. That thing looks interesting to say the least. I will read up on it. I am not 100% the amp section would be enough for my actual ls3/5a but mine are the Stirling broadcast V2 which are easier to drive. Hmmm. I once had quad el84 monoblocks and they were great. This little guy is just a pair per channel.

This guy did a pretty nice review of it.
Thanks everyone again.  What Schiit DAC do you have gdnrbob??

I am really starting from scratch on equipment and knowledge. Perhaps as suggested I just using my outgoing iPhone 6 plus with an Onkyo HF player into a Dac and choose my amp?

All I have now is speakers an old AVR and a CD player.  I stepped away from audio for 10 years.  I am only currently looking for 2 channel.

I want it to be simple and satisfying.  I am not at all looking for the holy grail system.
