My rule of thumb is that in order to upgrade (since I always research and find the best sounding component of my taste for the money) you must invest at least 2x the cost... and in the budget realm 3x. So I recommend looking at components in the $3K or higher... used is a good way to bring down the cost.
Has anyone heard the Bluesound Node Icon streamer DAC?
I’m reading high praise and I’m looking to upgrade from my Mytek
