I was looking at the Lumin D2, PS Audio Direct Stream JR/SR, but it seems you need the bridge to get Tidal to work and as I'm looking at the PS Audio Website from Europe I can't get prices. I was thinking about calling them next week. I know the PS is above my enclosed budget. I have also been looking at Schitt as a DAC for the Node. They seem to be quite polarizing.
Using the Node2 I was impressed at how the Chord Qutest enhanced the sound stage, air, space and articulation. I can't say I have an opinion on if it offered "analogue" style sound. I do know that when I changed to the Mac it's tubes added some magic to the equation and make for a more emotional listen. Enhancing this might be interesting. I definitely do not want to go more analytical.
And of course, six months after I purchase the Node 2 they come out with the 2i. Thanks fellas. :)
