Bluesound mode not really cutting it


Running a bluesound node. Sounds pretty good but I feel like I can do better. I'm running a Black ice Dac thru a Schiit saga plus into a Mac Mc 152 and Lsa signature 20's. Looking to upgrade node I have 2 to 3 k to spend. Hard to find decent reviews. Any suggestions. Listen to blues classic rock and anything that sounds good. Have tenants downstairs so listen at moderate levels and kinda prefer realistic or almost tube or liquid sound.

I have the Node 130.  I added a Teddy Pardo linear power supply to it, and that obviously improved its sound.  If you like the Bluesound app and want to stream wi-fi, adding a LPS is a cost-effective way to improve the Node.  Teddy Pardo claims it brings its sound quality up to the level of $2000 streamers.  I heard a clearer rendering of the soundstage and a bit more "meat on the bones" with the timbre of instruments.
