Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?

Whats the next step after the Bluesound Node 2i?  I love the interface with the Bluesound so I don’t want to go backwards on that and I do use the bluetooth option sometimes to stream soundcloud, which sounds really quite good.  My main service is Amazon HD music.

So, what next?  Schiit Gungir Multibit or Cambridge Audio Azur 851N or ...?

Thanks for your help! I know this has probably been discussed before but I couldn’t find the threads!

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Bruce

Given that you like the interface, in your shoes my next step would be to pair the Node 2i with your outboard DAC of choice.  Schiit products are all good value for the dollar.  I have paired the Node 2i with a Chord Qutest, and loved the combo.  There are many good choices out there, both new and used, depending on your budget.

I went to a TEAC NT-505 and wish I would have just started there. Bluesound is a nice way to get your feet wet with streaming though. The TEAC / Lumin software is not as good as Blue OS, but you can use Bubbleupnp, which is really good.
