Streamer options

I’m thinking of picking up a streamer. I already have a great DAC so I’m not interested in a steamer with a DAC. Also, don’t need a streamer with a headphone amp. SPDIF output greater preferred. 
If anyone has gone down this road, what have you you found that you like?

@aberyclark - So I posed the Bluesound Tech Support this question...

- whilst I really liked the Bluesound Node 2i, if you were to put it in a larger box, upgrade the power supply and revise internal component layout for improved isolation to lower noise levels, the sound could be amazing - so is a larger Node 2 in the works?

His reply...
- If you want all of those things - Buy a NAD

So I assumed the NAD is better. :-)

I have the 2i and with the right cables it performs way above it's very reasonable price point.

However, whilst the Node 2i is an exceptional value I have had communications from Bluesound that if a higher quality streamer is desired then the NAD range may be able to improve on sound quality.

But that is the limit of my experience on streamers
