Streaming from Bluesound Node2i

I have a decent coax cable from Wyred4sound. I bought it when I bought my DAC 2v2SE. I will likely get a power cord from signal cable. Their Magic Power cord. Good cord doesn't cost a fortune. I'm done fighting with OPPO over Tidal I'm ordering the Bluesound Node 2i from my local dealer Monday. I will also sign up for a trial run with Qobuz and compare the two services.

Yep

I have a node 2i that i stream Qobuz and Tidal to a Benchmark DAC2 HGC via the coaxial connection (audioquest cinnamon). The Benchmark is connected to my Arcam SR250 via RCA cables and it all sounds pretty fantastic.

@mizike  Your proposed solution should work.  I'm doing something similar from a Roon server to a stand-alone DAC.  Much improvement over my receiver's built in DAC.

The Node is more than a streamer. It is a player of local files via NAS and USB. In my experience ethernet (via a nodel) is much more stable than wifi. They might sound similar unless you go Cat 8 or better but WiFi is a stinking hassle ttcomparitively. BluSound is also a hassle making you clear queue anytime you want to play something. Qobuz playlist creation nowhere near Spotify ease but the SQ is great.
