I added a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC to my Bluesound Node 2. It’s proven itself to be a very satisfying combination.  
I think it would help to understand the rest of the system and what, if anything, you don’t like about the Node. 
I’m in the upgrade the DAC first camp. Listen to the Benchmark DAC 3 and compare it to those others have recommended. And you’ll be under your budget. 
I just spent approximately $3,000 for the Audiolab 6000N play (great streaming interface)
and Exogal Comet plus Dac and I am very happy with both!
