Point of higher priced streamer?

No the pointnis that more powerful streamers present the dac with a better cleaner data packet which produces audible improvements

We are server experts with years of experience and these differences are large especially between models

We had run a test of several high end music servers a baetis reference vs a Lauder technik memory player vs an innous statement and each one had their own sound and clearly made an audible difference

Do you think that companies such as aurender or innous or 432 Evo could succesfully sell and market an entire line of servers if there was no sonic improvement between models which are more expensive from one another?

No point at all for sound quality, get a node 2i

No point regarding sound quality but does provide options that may appeal more to traditional hifi buyers.

Do not use Apple Airplay use wifi it sounds better.

Bluesoud node 2i seems to be the best deal for me. 
Indeed, mostly what I need is Airplay feature, so I can send songs being played in my iPhone to the external DAC.

The funny thing is, one of the most common (also I’m curious about this too) questions regarding node 2i is, “How to Bypass Node 2i?”

Bluesound should give an option to omit DAC. 


I totally understand more features and better build quality parts, but some prices are hard to believe in terms of this aspect. 

Sending better cleaner packet might be a reason? I’ll study more on this.
