any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with
Another vote for Melco. Recently replaced the Node 2i with the Melco n-100, all Japanese internal components, with a 2TB HDD. Primarily use it for streaming Tidal. Nice improvement. 
rule of thumb: how long do you leave a tube preamp on versus turning it off then back on?
If you live in Texas turn if off! 
Jazz for aficionados
Anything by Paul Desmond, like Desmond Blue, and Take 10Anything by Joe Sample, like Invitation and Hippies on a CornerRecently found New Zion Trio, and The Vampires (Jazz group not heavy metal group) on Tidal.Enjoy 
Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart
Two open box units available for $1199 on eBay from TEAC direct. 
Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC
I also run a Node 2i and stream Tidal, and use a tube integrated amp. Curious as which Tube DAC you use? Thanks
