I have two Node 2 devices. I bought one from my local deal on closeout when the Node 2i was coming out and picked up the second one used. I think both were about $300 each. I also have a couple of Bluesound's speakers for when we travel. I have both of my Node 2 devices running through an external DAC, but the internal DAC is surprisingly good. It sounds like you're familiar with the Bluesound interface, so you know it'll support Qobuz and a lot more. It has analog and digital coax and toslink outs.
