Updating my streamer


I am looking to update my steamer from Bluesound Node - I am very happy with the sound my turntable and my analog set up and would like to update my digital sound.  I do not have a stand alone DAC so any streamer will need a built in one due to space constraints.  

Current system:

PrimaLuna Evo 300 integrated amp (currently using KT120 tubes)

Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers

 

So far have looked at the Aurender A200 and HiFi Rose units.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Personally I think @audiotroy has been pretty good at adding value to the conversations here and not going over the line of outright selling. I am sure it is a difficult line to walk.

I have a 432 EVO High-End. When I first came across their website I was fascinated with the company's approach to frequency, however, the computer aesthetic of the hardware itself didn't appeal to me. I did end up buying a roon Nucleus.. not that different, in some ways. I learned to appreciate the set it up and forget nature of the Nucleus. The EVO has that going for it too. It just disappears in my cabinet. I have my amp and my iPad to satisfy my tactile needs. There is no wireless which may be a dealbreaker for some. It sounds fantastic. I'll leave it to others to compare against other higher end streamers - it's a big step up from my Nucleus and the other streamers I've owned.

If the A 200 is anything like the N 200 in quality, you’ll love it! 
 

All the best.

Hello everyone - thank you all for all the suggestions - just to add more info - my budget is around 5-6k or so.  The Node I have is about a year old.  I typically my steamer to play Tidal using Tidal connect - I have used the BluOS app but typically Tidal connect is my preferred use.  I know Aurender is adding Tidal connect soon - I do not have a digital library at this point.  Just streaming and vinyl.

I'm going to suggest another option here...the Eversolo A8.  It's a streamer DAC and can be used as a preamp as well   I had a node 2i I was using it as just a streamer going into my Hegal H90 integrated and the A8 is simply in a different league.  It is uses akms latest chipset.  It is very smooth but still has lots of detail with a wide and deep soundstage.  There is just something right about the sound...I always feel I'm getting every bit of information in the recording.  Highly recommended.
