Another vote for the Topping D90 via coax from the Node 2i. Sounds great.
But I'll take this another direction. If you want a different, better interface for your Node, think about Roon. I only have a few digital albums on a hard drive, but with Qobuz or Tidal it's truly enhanced music discovery. They have a two week free trial period. I'm listening to more, new music music of all genres than ever. Even though I have not "ripped" a bunch of my old CDs (yet), I'm finding great value in the service.
