Moving up from a Node 2i

I want to keep it between 1K and 1500.00, closer to a grand if at all possible. I don't care about onboard DACs, since I have a keen liking for mine. What is out there for a streamer, new or used, that will sound better than the Node when outputting to an external DAC? I like the functionality of the Node, don't want something with a sketchy user interface. But honestly, I think my old Allo Digione (Raspberry Pi) might have sounded a little more organic and fleshed out than the Node.

What say ye, Audiogon?

I've been told by Bryston that the BDP-2 sounds basically the same as the BDP-3. The 3 has more processing power.
I really like my BDP-2. I just tried Roon with it and the sound quality is the same.

Have you compared the Lumin to anything else?

I have been in the process of simplifying my system and selling off unused gear.  I recently purchased a Naim Supernait 2 and a Node 2i.  I am running the Node into my MHDT Labs Orchid.  It sounds really good.  I would definitely like to know if changing out the streamer would make an improvement.  My local dealer loves the Innuos, but I don't need to rip CD's and I already have a NAS for music storage.  I'm sure he will let me borrow one and it would be interesting to see if the SQ is better.
