Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?

Whats the next step after the Bluesound Node 2i?  I love the interface with the Bluesound so I don’t want to go backwards on that and I do use the bluetooth option sometimes to stream soundcloud, which sounds really quite good.  My main service is Amazon HD music.

So, what next?  Schiit Gungir Multibit or Cambridge Audio Azur 851N or ...?

Thanks for your help! I know this has probably been discussed before but I couldn’t find the threads!

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Bruce

This does seem to be an open forum on streamers and operating systems.  I would like to know if anyone likes or dislikes the Play-FI operating system?

Many comments liking the Bluesound BluOS. I like it too. I'm using the Node 2i with the McIntosh C49 internal DAC and the SQ improved.  Has anyone here upgraded (?) from the Node 2i to the NAD M50.2? Is there an increase in sound quality?

Yes @mrklas, I am using the C49 as my DAC.  So my question was: Is the M50.2 a better sounding streamer than the Node 2i since the M50.2 has no DAC.  I believe this is a question that is in line with the OP's original question of "Where to go now".  Thanks.

@mrklas thanks for your response

Since I wrote last I have decided to buy the Roon Nucleus with an SBooster power supply and a 1TB SSD to replace the Node 2i over coax and Roon from the Windows 10 computer.  I am waiting on them to be delivered.  I will be using the DAC on the C49 and a Morrow Reference USB cable.  Will write more after I've had a chance to break everything in.
