Well now elevick, I didn’t know that. I have a Chord Hugo at my winter house so I’ll try that out. I suppose then, I could also stream Radio Paradise via iPhone or iPad to the Hugo?
Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive
I want to add a streamer to my system, I am currently using a Dell laptop with a decent USB cable.
Will I be satisfied with a Node 2 streaming Tidal and plugging in a portable drive? I want to control from my phone. I don't need multi room access.
This is my equipment in terms of expectations:

I think the general answer to your question is yes, adding a streamer for Tidal will likely be a satisfying upgrade over your current setup. It was for me. I was using an iMac, and then an optimized Mac mini as my digital front end in a couple of systems. I purchased an Aurender N100H and it was a sizable upgrade in sound over the optimized Mac (running Audivarna). In another system, I bought a Bluesound Node 2 as a streamer to again replace an optimized Mac mini front end. I’m running the Node 2 into an outboard DAC - again, pretty sizable improvement in sound quality. I’m guessing with your system, you’ll notice a pretty significant improvement too. Best, |
I'm streaming Tidal through my Lumin D2. I'm extremely pleased with the SQ and it integrates very well with Roon. http://www.luminmusic.com/lumin-d2.html |
