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 have a Bluesound Vault 2 and it works great for streaming.  I like it so much I plan to purchase a Node 2 in a few months for my winter residence.  An iPad is my usual control but my iPhone also works.  Mainly like the larger screen.  I have the Tidal subscription and it operates flawlessly.
As far as sound quality, I have no complaints.  One could always experiment with an external dac somewhere down the line if upgraditis bites.
Bluesound is already setup for Tidal so a subscription is simple to add.

Well now elevick, I didn’t know that.  I have a Chord Hugo at my winter house so I’ll try that out.  I suppose then, I could also stream Radio Paradise via iPhone or iPad to the Hugo?
