Recommended streamers/servers?

Up to $5,000. At present I have a SILENT ANGEL RHEIN Z1 V2 MUSIC SERVER connected to a PS Audio DS DAC via USB CABLE.

What dac were u using that sounded less than the Node? I am just curious since I am in the market for a dac and streamer as well. I was considering the Denafrips Terminator II and the Bluesound. Does anyone know what the difference between the Node and Node 2i is?
