Bluesound installed DAC - music killer?

Let’s get passed because Chord didn’t include a great inexpensive streamer !!!!

both are great for what they do best, combined for the $$$$ they are formidable indeed....

All streamers I’ve tried that are hard wired to Ethernet improve dramatically with the Network Acoustics ENO RFI filter. Highly recommend!

I have the understanding that NAD is the owner of bluesound. And they have a streamer for about 1500.00 . It uses the same card as the node but with a better dac . Anyone that can give some insight into this. 

I have Node 2i and after about a month with it, I connected it with a good Analysis Plus coaxial interconnect to the MHDT Orchid tube DAC. It’s sounding great, now. I rolled the stock tube in the Orchid and it sounds even better. I have no impulse to upgrade the streamer, now. It sounds wonderful.

I have a Vault 2i, love it.... doesn't sound bad through analog out but sounds great with a good DAC.... using a RME adi-2 and its a great combo.
