Beastie Boys - Solid Gold Hits 
Audio System Donation
You might consider making arrangements to have it sold to a local audio store (or have them sell it on consignment) and have the proceeds go to your heirs.  
HELP! Streaming to my old school audiophile system
I'm not familiar with the Cambridge unit, so can't comment on how it compares in terms of sound quality to the Node 2i, but it includes a pre-amp, which you already have.  You're paying for that functionality when you buy the Cambridge unit.  The ...
