Upgrade from Bluesound Node

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.

Look into the new Denafrips Arce streamer and a used Denafrips Terminator 2. This will allow you to use the clock outputs from the Terminator 2 into the Denafrips Arce streamer. The lower model Denafrips Dacs like the Venus don't have the clock out puts. You will want Roon and Qobuz with this setup and I suspect it will sound very very good. It's the upgrade path I'm looking to take.

Correct about Amazon, I have it through a bluetooth antenna on my Gustard dac and Qobuz on my Innuos streamer. BTW the new Amazon HD at 10 bucks a month is surprisingly close to Qobuz in sound and I have found certain records I could not find on Qobuz. Really enjoying the added BT option. This digital stuff keeps on winning me over.

WiiM Pro Plus. Don’t laugh until you try it. And plenty cheap to try at that! Easy resell (or regift for Xmas) if you don’t. Nice app and supports Amazon Connect (Alexaconnect?), Tidal Connect, Airplay2, etc. Fugly but easily hidden - keeps attention on amp and speakers. Like I say cost next to nothing to try. At worst, it’s a bit perfect transport with a good app. I “upgraded” from a Node on a whim. And kept it.
