Apple iPad music streamer

Just got the Aurender N200, an upgrade from the Bluesound Vault. Really nice and enjoying it immensely. 

OP,

My Aurender W20SE is $22K. I was concerned about the cost until I put it in my system…. It is a bargain. I immediately was thankful that I didn’t go for a lessor model.

Your thinking is in the right place… battery is quiet. The Aurender uses a battery to power the audio portion to minimize noise… it works. MACs / PCs too noisy. A good streamer is built up from the ground floor to be quiet. 

Node will be an excellent upgrade from the ipad

Ideally the streamer I need only does one job.There is no need for storage or disc components. Sadly my CD collection is gone however I'm very satisfied with Qobuz/Roon as a replacement Most streamers I see are paired with something and I am looking for a suggested device that is an improvement over my iMac DAC streaming without any of the noted.

I think the Node is Roon ready? I have a 1000 or so CD's and crates of vinyl. The convieance streaming offers discovering new music is endless, and the SQ so far is amazing. I'm anticapating Node arrival.
