Gumby and Yggy would be a nice upgrade with the Node 2i. I used the Yggy for a while with the Node2i.
Also consider one of the Denafrips DACs. These are also an excellent value. I'm currently using the Terminator which is a definite step up from the Yggy, but isn't in the same price range. But from what I've heard, their lower priced DACs are quite exceptional for the $$$.
