Blue node 2i vs other devices

I have a question, currently I am using apple tv to stream my music from Spotify and tidal. Would the blue node 2i sound better than using Apple TV and how much better would it sound? Is it worth getting a blue node 2i to stream my music or just stick with Apple TV. 


Currently I am using arcam SR 250 AVR with bower and Wilkins speakers.

I loved my Node 2i so much I upgraded to the PowerNode 2i.  They are pairing well with my Zu Audio Dirty Weekends.  Any suggestions for a power cord upgrade?

I stream using an Audioquest Beetle DAC from my iPad. Using Apple Music, XM, or Amazon Prime currently. It sounds great to me.  Going into a MacC28 pre and a Mac 2105 amp.  B&W 802 series 80 speakers. I’m changing this out however for a full set of Dahlquist DQ-10’s with the base mod and crossover. I want to try one of the “Lossless” services, likely Qobuz. Any advice?

Cullen Cable makes a superb C7 power cord for the Node2i.
