Good result!
I had more or less the same question as well (see topic Help me choose a budget streamer ) and for a starter or second system NODE or MXN10 look like the great entry points now.
Ended up choosing a ND5 XS2 though, bought as a dealer demo, as I realised that would be in the same price territory as a budget streamer plus DAC and PSU upgrades.
I realised halfway in the topic that I would inevitably do these as the streamer was meant for my main system - so knowing myself I tried a more direct route ![]()
Also the whole thing oozes quality, including the Naim app and System Integration with the Nait XS3. But it also sounds good on my CB Nait 2, a bit like how I remember my NAT05 tuner.
Enjoy the streaming experience!
