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

Get a used Ayre Codex. They are going under $1K now. It will smoke many DAC's three times the price.

I used it with a Bluesound Node, years ago. Worked with Aurrender, and Innuos, too. 

If you can swing an Innuos Zen Mini with the Codex, even better. I use Roon with my Innuos.-I hate spending money on streaming services, but Roon makes things easy to connect to Qobuz.
