Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers

For those of you that have compared the Node 2/2i to some of the more expensive streamers like Lumin, Aurender, etc., what do the big boys bring to the table. Forget the internal DACs, I'm sure theirs beats the Node. I'm talking about using these devices as stand alone streamers into an outboard DAC. What are the differences you've heard?

I am trying to revive this thread.

I am running a BlueSound 2i into a Benchmark DAC. I find the BlueSound interface handy and reliable.

Sounds great. Most limitations come from the recording quality anyhow. 

It seems to me that the SQ originates mostly from the DAC itself (and of course the recording). Why would the BS Node or the interface impact on the SQ?

Interested to hear the arguments.

Thank you for the comments. These days i listen a lot to Apple Music. How is this integrated?
