Upgrade from Bluesound Node


I currently have a Bluesound Node used as a streamer And a Denafrips Ares II DAC. I stream music from from Amazon. 
My system is Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution and a Vitus MI100 integrated amp. 
I was thinking upgrading the front end of my system since I listen only to streaming music. 
I was considering a PS Audio PerfectWave Direct Stream Jr DAC with a Bridge II streamer. Do you think it is a worthy upgrade? I’m open to suggestions. The simpler the setup the better. I’m also thinking in getting something used, if it’s worth it. 
My room is about 13x17 ft. 

thank you

THANK YOU!!! I’ll research that and like jl35 said “I’m bellow what my speakers and amp deserve”

thank for opening my eyes!

I think you’re right Jl35. I bought the speakers about 2 months ago. I was using them with a NAD M33. But I couldn’t get the full potential out of those speakers. So I just purchased the Vitus. 
so now the weakest link or the next upgrade should be the DAC and the streamer. 
should I do the DAC first?

It was in my list of 10 candidates. I was wandering if someone went from something else to the Eversolo DMP-A6 and could compared it and give their opinion. I value the opinions of regular guys than the paid reviewers on YouTube. 

Based on experiences and recommendations (2psyop and richdirector), I ordered the power supply kit from Vinshine from under $300. Later on I'll upgrade the DAC.

Thank you to everyone!!!!

mtdining, thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate that.

I was thinking buying a Denafrips Venus later on.

Mahler123, I was thinking also in getting Qobuz and Roon for the exact same reason. Thanks for the advice.

I have the Node 130 and the Ares II. I haven't done the upgrade with the new power supply yet. I'll do it next week. 

Regarding DrMuso comments. I'm 60. I'm streaming from Amazon HD and some of the music are very high resolution same as Qobuz which I used to have.

I was thinking in buying a used Denafrips Venus II. I was wondering if someone upgraded to the Venus or Pontus from the Ares. And if they found to be a worthy upgrade.
