What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i

I added an RME ADI-2 DAC to my Blusound. The SQ went up a few notches. The DAC in the Bluesound is okay but you'll get more w/a quality outboard DAC.

So what’s a good DAC to pair with it? To answer the question about streaming, so far I’ve been building playlists and saving albums on Tidal and have been listening to some of the Blues radio stations on the Node. I just took delivery on a set of Double Impact towers with a center.  Anything that starts that many fights had to find it’s way into my system. I like the sound and they should get better with time. My preamp has a HT bypass so my 2 channel is also part of a 5.0. 

I have been told by a dealer that the DAC's in the Node 2 and Node 2i are the same. The units, in reality, should sound identical.

In my experience pretty much and DAC will enhance the Node.  What your budget?

Hadn't really thought about it too much, I would probably buy used, that's what all my recent purchases have been. what does a 1000.00 get you in a used DAC?
