Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?

Node 2i dig out to...

-- Chord Qutest or 2Qute or even Mojo
-- ADI RME2
-- Topping D90
-- Neko D100-2
-- Schitt XX Multibit
-- Musical Paradise tube DAC
-- and so on

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. 

Im pretty close to pulling the trigger on a Schiit Gungir Multibit..

anyone have a better idea?

I keep thinking the Gungnir must be due for an upgrade. For immediate use it probably wouldn’t matter since the Node 2i doesn’t have USB out, but we all want a bit of future proofing. I recently went from using the Node through an Oppo BDP-105 to a Chord Qutest via coax. I wasn’t sure the Bifrost 2 would be enough of an upgrade and dreaded buying a Gungnir only to have a new model come out next month. I still want to hear some Multibit & R2R DACs someday, but think I’ve pushed my DAC to the point of diminishing returns until I upgrade the Node and a few other things first. 

I just bought the Gungir so save me the heartache and don’t give me suggestions of something better for half the $ 😂

Do feel free to tell me how great they are!
