Class D is just Dandy!
@georgehifi Yes that's the company. 
Class D is just Dandy!
VTV amp with the stock opamps before I’ve had McIntosh, Anthem, Micromega. I still have the McIntosh. 
Class D is just Dandy!
Just got my first class D amp, based on the Purfi 1ET400A. I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised with the detail and just boogey factor this little amp does.  
Sound quality of Roon vs. Lighting
Sometimes it's not easy getting the volumes matched going by controls in the app but if it sounds better to you not using roon then you can save a little cash. I tried the same but with volumio and roon and roon was clearly better  not only in sou... 
iPad directly into Amp - okay idea? or bad idea?
I wouldn't put the iPad volume to max but low and gradually increase, the only reason you would put it to max is if you ran through a preamp or integrated amp.  
Sound quality of Roon vs. Lighting
Sometimes when something is louder we think it sounds better, it could be running through Roon you're not matching the volume as when you go through Lightning app. If you have a spl meter try to match volumes, make sure you’re not doing some kind ...

The jitter reduction ultimately occurs at the DAC although it’s done so by controlling "pollution" of the DAC from the switch.Yes, so as long as the DAC does its job the amount of "pollution" is not relevant unless it causes dropouts or stuttering...

RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000?

Need help picking a streaming integrated amp

Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!!
I'm still waiting for my RCA 19inch TV to break in. For some reason the picture still looks grayish, very drab colors. I'll give it to 2025 before I complain.  
Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok
You can connect USB flash or hard drive to the lumin or stream from a NAS. 
Where’s My Weakest Link?
Given the age I would look first at the pre and amp, maybe consider an integrated with a good dac as that's the weakest link in the Node2i. It has a good interface and a lot of streaming options.
