bluesound node 2i with chord quest


I am an old school listener.  I have a Wadia 581SE player, a deHavilland Ultraverve tube preamp modified with Duelund caps, a big Bryston 14bsst amp, B&W 802 diamond speakers, Purist cables and power cords and all run through an Isotek Aquarius noise filter. I have about 3,500 cd's.  
A few months ago my Wadia took a dump and the only people supposedly "certified" to fix it is George Meyer audio in Los Angeles.  After spending 1500.00 and having to send it back and forth twice from Wisconsin, the player seems to be working well again.  This has led me to consider High end lossless streaming which is totally new to me.  I have begun some research and the more I read, the more I am confused.  I have "sort of" (for whatever reason) been looking at running a Bluesound Node 2i into a Chord Qutest DAC as well as finding a way to electronically begin storing my collection of CD's.  I did look at the Aurender A10 for streaming and storage but I think it might be a little more than I can pay now.  
One of the problems with the streaming is I have no hard connection internet near my dedicated listening area
and, unless I tear apart my finished basement, may have to use wifi to stream...which I understand is not as sonically good as ethernet hard connection. I was a long time Audiogon member back about 12 years ago but have been away for awhile.  Anyone willing to guide me with some helpful advice would be appreciated.  I understand that there is lots of ways that I might proceed.  I am intrigued though with the Chord-Bluesound node connection.  I love my deHavilland preamp and the Chord has voltage input choices where I could match up nicely with the preamp.  Also, with the preamp I could switch between my streaming configuration and my old Wadia when I feel like it.  High quality sound is the bottom line for me.  I listen to mostly jazz but have everything.  Thanks, Jim

Thank you very much for the informative responses.  Lots of things to check out!  Pfeiffer
I have two Node 2 devices.  One in my living room and one in my bedroom, maybe 25 feet away.  Both are connected to wifi.  I have a wireless access point in my living room and a wireless repeater.  I haven't compared to a wired ethernet connection, but both sound great over wireless to my ears.  The one in the living room is connected to an Auralic Vega DAC and the one in the bedroom to a Mytek Liberty DAC.
In light of your responses it looks like wifi might be OK.  However, if I decide to get crazy and run a new house ethernet cable through walls, etc.to my dedicated listening room, what is the best hard cable to purchase to serve audio streaming?  CAT6...CAT7?  I know there are quite of few out there now! thanks, Jim
@pfeiffer  - I've never done this, so take it for what it is worth. However, I have seen several folks mention that they have used Power Line adapters to connect from the router to an Ethernet device in a remote location. There are wired Power Line Ethernet adapters and wifi Power Line Ethernet adapters. You would likely want to use the wired variety.
I have a Node 2i in my main system which I run wirelessly.  The router is a standard issued unit from Cox Cable which is located in another room approximately 25 feet away.  I don’t experience any drop outs.  

 I own a Chord Hugo which I’ve tried with the Node.  I’m happy with the analog outs of the Node and leave the Hugo as the dac from my CD player.  All of my equipment is powered through a Shunyata Hydra Triton except for the subs.  The Hydra does make a substantial upgrade in the sound of the Node as I did experiment to hear if there was a difference between a wall outlet and the Hydra.

Since you mentioned you like jazz, KJZZ 91.5 HD2 out of Phoenix AZ is excellent and sounds great through the Bluesound products.  
I own a Vault 2, Node 2i, and Pulse Flex 2i.
