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

I went from Node 2i to Lumin U1 Mini into Benchmark 3 HGC. Big improvement.

Find an external dac to use it with for the Sonic upgrade or merely just  change that you are looking for.

It amazes me how people start a thread and then buy an item before they have received all the feedback from the community and then complain about the audience not following the thread closely enough...

And, I've seen no rules indicating responses belong to the original poster with a time limit or pre-conditions. Thankfully, it's an open forum where threads can continue for years beyond. Others will camp on later and continue to benefit from from feedback and experiences well beyond the original post and first few pages of replies.

This does seem to be an open forum on streamers and operating systems.  I would like to know if anyone likes or dislikes the Play-FI operating system?

If you add an external DAC to the Node 2i, you will not be able to listen to MQA.  I purchased an external DAC with my Node 2i and preferred the Node 2i played by itself.  Bass was better with just the Node 2i and I thought the imaging was also better.
