wanting to take a digital step

A used Node 2i or an "open box" Node, will give you an excellent taste of how great streaming can be on a budget. If you get the itch to improve, those Bluesound  streamers can keep up with better DACs.

A CD Quality Tidal membership for 9.95/month brings you millions of titles... ones you love and, ones you don't know exist yet and will love.

No more buying and album only to find that you can't stand 8 out of the 10 tracks.

If you like streaming a lot... you can always spend 20/month and get Qobuz.

I've been an "audiophile" since 1972, with the vinyl and CD collection that goes along with it. I find myself streaming 75-85% of the time. It's an adventure and a treasure hunt that can greatly expand your music world.

This dac beat everything up to 2x it’s cost check it out.

I recommend a new (or open box) Bluesound Node over the older version (the Node 2i). I see it on sale now for $499.  The new version has several improvements over the old, including USB audio out, HDMI ARC, and (apparently) a better DAC.  This is assuming you have a HiFi set-up that accepts one of the Bluesound outputs, and (ideally) that you're willing to subscribe to a streaming service (such as Tidal/Qobuz) or else set up your own local digital music library (which you can host on a network-attached computer or on a drive/stick attached to the Node).

A good starting point is the Bluesound Node (499), or the Vault (1399).

the difference between the two are that the first you need a streaming service like Quboz, Tidal, or Amazon music or add your on storage. Adding storage isn’t particularly difficult but depending on your familiarity with IT, the Vault could be attractive since it has built in storage. High resolution music can be bought from HDtracks and Pro Studio Masters.
