Can't get Bluesound Node to connect to DAC via iFi iPurifier2 ?
@audiostick Scroll down to connections it lists USB as audio output https://www.bluesound.com/usa/node you can also check their manual.   
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
When I buy using F&F I have a phone conversation with the seller, ask for additional pictures to be texted to my cell, check feedback and research the seller including what they do for a living, their LinkedIn profile etc. I also do not sell t... 
about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10?
You can use Mconnect to stream Tidal and Qobuz with the AirLens. Not the best method by far sonically or from UI perspective. Roon is your best option with it but it’s a subscription service. Advantage of the AirLens combined with the PS audio DAD...

@phill55 you should send it back. Also, if your node has USB out you should definitely try that with your DAC. It may potentially sound better than spdif

@phill55 does your Node have a USB out? If so, why wouldn’t you use that instead of spdif?

You need a few shots of that Pappy for those speakers to start looking pretty.  Lol All jokes aside, congrats on the fantastic retirement system!!!  
Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H
Go for the Aurender. Some of the reasons why… Aurender is a streamer only unit that utilizes a fairly large caching area and that helps with getting the signal as clean as possible out to the DAC; it has a USB output which means it will rely most... 
All in One amp up to $7k
Coda CSiB is amazing in that price range. Can’t go wrong. But no streamer.   
Which power cord should you buy first
@salc trying is the only way to find out. Everything matters. However based on my experience, I follow a simple rule as I proved over and over it works every time - start from speakers and go up the chain - speaker cables, amp power cord, intercon... 
No bass on B&W 800D2
@oneofew +1 that’s why I asked the OP for room size, speaker placement details and listening chair distance to speakers. To move the woofers on those B&Ws, which is what you need to produce the bass you can feel, you need current. And the 200...
