High Quality Streamer

[KevinHeem]

Hello,
I have never posted to the Digital Forum before...In fact my knowledge of digital audio is VERY limited. I'm passing along a question from a friend about his streaming
capability. Presently he's using the DAC built in to his McIntosh C2700 Preamp being feed from a blue sound node 2I. What would be his path for a better overall digital experience via streaming audio?

The first question is one he should ask himself. what would better look like to him? He should be specific about what it is he wants to improve. Answering a question as open-ended as yours is pretty much impossible and you will get answers all over the map. Most will simply avoid answering (as evidenced by the number of views vs answers)

Well, many devices perform better than Node 2i. But ... not many are as user friendly. Its newer brother Node 2021 is not a real upgrade either (that seems to be the logical assumption many make). Both are hard to beat with regards to features and the app.
