Love, love, love my 2i with Qobuz and a nice dedicated DAC. Heaven. For $15 a month, I can listen to almost any piece of music I want...instantly and lossless(ly).
It is my experience and opinion that...having it go into an external DAC...mitigates any real or perceived compromise.
Don’t want to debate or start a flame war....but I believe even an Uber expensive streamer into the same DAC/system would sound identical...it streams bits.
If others disagree....feel free to spend more. The 2i is all I’ll ever need.
Node2i/Qobuz....by far biggest gamechager in my 50 years in this game.
