Bluesound Node 2 - Next level up

I am trying to add a third source to my main stereo.  Wireless music Tidal, Spotify etc to DEVICE - to pre-amp. No storage required.  No CD/SACD player required.  No pre-amp.  Pure streaming music. 
Turntable is Oracle Delphi/ET2;  CD Player is Sony SCD-777ES.  Pre-amp is Nagra PL-P (tube).
What would be a good Bluesound Node 2 like device?  Budget less than $ 3,000.
Thanks!

+1, Bob.
Most of the inexpensive streamers will suffice, with their internal Dac's. But when you add a high quality Dac to a streamer the SQ takes a huge jump. I have a Bluesound Node 2 feeding an Ayre Codex. Just incredible sound for the money.

Kalali,
I have compared the two outputs. In my system, the optical output was the winner. I use the new Wireworld Super Nova 7 optical cable. Has over 300 glass fibre strands. This was a vast improvement over thick plastic cable toslink. The coax I compared it to was from Canare, called DigiFlex Gold. An older design of cable but was highly rated at the time.
