Airlens streamer thoughts

I had a bluesound node 2i with a Pontus dac. A year ago it was suggested here that my streamer was my weak point. I never believed it could make much difference. 
I finally ordered the airlens and I was floored. This was way more improvement than I could ever imagine. It’s cleaner and fuller base. Separation and depth is so apparent. 
Thank you guys for the suggestions.

It’s always fun when you think your music sounds good, and then you slap in a new piece of gear ⚙️. Enjoy it until you’re off on to a new tweak quest, good luck 🍀.

Congrats!  I assume/hope you’re using the i2S connection?  Goodonya for keeping an open mind and giving it a try.  Everything matters especially in streaming, and only the willfully ignorant and/or hearing impaired among us “think” otherwise.

In testing a LOT equipment, I think the quality of the streamer may be more important than the DAC.
