Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good
You don't "need to run this through an external dac".  If you want it to sound better, then you can.  If you're happy with the sound, then don't.

Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade
I was having dropout issues with my Node 2, which I attributed to the fact that I'm using wifi and it's in the opposite corner of my house from my router, but since the recent update it hasn't dropped out once.  Knock on wood, fingers crossed, and...

The Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup, Qobuz Hi-Res.  This is one of my favorite Stones albums and it's sounding really good.  I'm not sure whether it's due to what they did in the Hi-Res mix or if it's the Schiit Bifrost 2 multibit DAC I'm trying ...

"And wired to analogue inputs of avr"There's a big part of your problem right there.  Sound quality out of the analog outputs is pretty decent given the price point, but using a better DAC will improve sound quality.

Those are monitor speakers, and are only going to play so loud before you blow them up.  I have the Vento Reference 9.2 DC, which I believe are very similar to your speakers.  Mind are in my bedroom and I haven't played them super loud, but manage... 
Sub Sonics and woofer pumping
I recently added the 2nd pivot point to my VPI Classic 2 and it didn't create rumble, nor have I read of any reports of that in the extensive research I did before adding it.  How hard would it be to take the turntable into the other room and see ...

You have two systems.  Have you tried the turntable in the other system?  Same issue there?  If not, I think @slaw may have pointed out what the issue is - placement.

uber, I've had Pandora Premium for a while.  Sound quality is nothing to get excited about, I got it mainly to get rid of commercials.  I don't listen to it for "serious listening".  Its AI is good and it does a nice job of putting together statio...

Prima Luna Pre vs Modwright LS100
I haven't heard the EVO400, but have heard some of the Primaluna integrateds.  Much more "syrupy" sounding.  It's beguiling, but I think it would wear thin after a while.  I'll keep my LS100 thank you.
