Bluesound installed DAC - music killer?

Ever since NAD started offering components featuring both BluOS and Dirac Live, I've been hoping for the Lenbrook folks to offer an upscale BluOS network player (preferably without a DAC) that was both Roon Ready and featured Dirac Live with either the NAD or BluOS label.
Like a Super Bluesound Node 2i with Dirac Live, with or without a DAC, but definitely with digital outputs.  In fact, I've been looking for anybody that offered such a player that featured Dirac Live that was also Roon Ready. I don't know of any at this time.

Minidsp SHD Studio has Dirac Live and you can use roon with it. They are in the process of getting roon ready certified.

Also upgraded a BlueSound Node 2i with a Chord Qutest (paired with a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium Integrated and Unison Research Max-2 speakers).  Compared this combo in my listening room with the $3500 Naim ND5 XS2 streamer and couldn't tell any significant difference if any at all.  Super happy with my choice.  Also agree that the Node 2i is great bang for the buck.  Enjoying the music!

The streamer in the bluesound is not that great either.  If you budget is up to it, looking into a comparable streamer with you your chord dac will bring more dynamics, openness, clarity...

I am looking at streamers.  Ideas?  Live and learn.  Not sure a stand alone streamer will impact sound that much vs existing bluesound node 2i.
