If you are looking to dip your toes into the streaming pond, you could do worse that the Bluesound Node 2i. I transitioned from vinyl to streaming and started with the Node 2i. I was very happy with it, especially with the app. I liked it so much I upgraded to the PowerNode 2i.
I did not see it specifically mentioned in this forum, but make sure the Node or PowerNode is a 2”i” and not just the older model “2”. The newer model 2i has better Bluetooth connectivity. Also, if you settle on the PowerNode 2i, get the model with the HDMI connection; you can always incorporate it into a 2-channel surround sound video system.
BTW, Steve Guttenberg reviewed the Node 2i this morning:
