Have to generally agree with Audiotroy here. I have a Node 2. It’s an incredible unit for the price, but it’s not a high end streamer. It sounds great, but is easily bested by better units. In my experience, the streamer quality is as or more important than the DAC. While I don’t have experience with Innuos server/streamers, I do with Aurender and Auralic as I own units from both companies and have been able to do A/B comparisons against the Node 2. No contest.
And, if you pay attention to the details, a better streamer playing Tidal or Qoboz will easily equal a high quality CD player. And, if you have files stored on a NAS, even better yet.
