Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive

I want to add a streamer to my system, I am currently using a Dell laptop with a decent USB cable.

Will I be satisfied with a Node 2 streaming Tidal and plugging in a portable drive? I want to control from my phone. I don't need multi room access.

This is my equipment in terms of expectations: 

  • Rogue 99 pre amp

  • Rouge Ares phono pre amp

  • Rogue m180 monoblocks

  • SOTA Saphhire III

  • Dynavector DV-20X

  • Rega Saturn CD

  • Linear Power Supply for DAC

  • Brooklyn DAC

  • Vandersteen 2CE

  • Vandesteen 2W subs x2

I use Buesound Nodes. Not expensive  and very easy to set up.

@uberwaltz, I concur with your post, but I wanted to add that for the money, the Bluesound DAC isn't too bad. I think they were wise in allowing users to output to a DAC of their choice. It really makes it incredibly versatile at a great price point.

I would use the stock cord first before considering an upgrade.
