Speaking of the DAC in the Node, is it possible to use the iFi device without the external DAC and just use the internal DAC in the Node?  The Node would have to output the stream to the iFi and the iFi would then send it back to the digital input... 
Can't get Bluesound Node to connect to DAC via iFi iPurifier2 ?
Vlad the Impaler wants $1K to place a buffer in a digital outlet that you  won’t be able to use? What a guy.   I don’t want to sound like an a—hole, and I realize that it isn’t my money, but I would cut bait. Sell off the DAC, Node and iFi compo... 
Can't get Bluesound Node to connect to DAC via iFi iPurifier2 ?

Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio
I used the same Powerline adapter as the OP.  It worked great and I preferred it to WiFi after 6 months the PLA stopped working.  Replaced it and a few months later same story.  An electrician that we had engaged to fix something else did a measur... 
DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2?
OP   if you don’t want to spend money for an included DAC, just get a traditional integrated that just has pre amp and power amp.  Surely McIntosh still makes those?  
are there any fans of the Oppo BDP-95 out there? (vs. Oppo 105D).
