I'm mostly into vinyl, but I have a Bluesound Node 2i that I find to be quite good. I use it mostly for background, but also to check out new and new to me music. I haven't had the urge to go with a separate dac yet, and I dealer I trust very much, when asked, advised me that it was pretty much unnecessary to go with a separate dac. When listening to it in his demo room, he simply said "Why, do you hear anything you don't like about it?" and pointed to the node.
