Integrated Amp suggestions to go with Gallo Nucleus Reference III?
What sound characteristics do you value most, and what are you looking to improve upon over what you have now? 
Great Intergated amp with great built in DAC
There’s a Hegel H360 integrated on US Audio Mart for $3250 ($5700 retail) that delivers what you’re looking for sonically and includes a good DAC as well.  Pair that with some Joseph Audio Profiles ($7000/pr) or even LSA 20 Statements (discounted ...

Inexpensive Headphone DAC
Topping E30 also very worth a look at $130.  
Schiit Audio headphone amps
It depends on what headphones you’re driving, so would be helpful if you could share that info.  That aside, the Cavalli Tube Hybrid is also a highly-regarded budget amp with a less crappy name.

What aspects of sound reproduction do you value most? 
Need preamp recommendation
Would help greatly if you’d share what aspects of sound reproduction are most important and attractive to you and what specifically you’d like to improve upon, otherwise you’re just going to get a wide range of personal favorites that may or may n... 
DAC Resolution vs Non-fatiguing vs Cost
By all accounts the M3 represents a high bar for more budget-minded DACs, and given your tastes the only one that might come close is the R2R Schiit Yggy although Ayre and Chord might also come close. I think the Sonnet Morpheus, as an R2R NOS des... 
something is not right here and it's on purpose!!!
Fact all commercial audio is out of tune with the resonate frequency of the human brain and makes no difference whether the media is digital or vinyl because the source is the same and as good as the music can sound it does not sound natural only ... 
Interconnect cable recommendations for Node 2i and DAC
First, do a free month trial of Qobuz and then drop Tidal and the ridiculously limiting MQA BS (that’s what I did).  And l agree with others to put $ toward a DAC first then mess with interconnects — I’d recommend a Topping E30 that should be a ni...

I tried encoding some digital recordings with Mars frequencies, but they just sounded colored and more distant.

Budget? What type of sound are you looking for?  What speakers will this amp be driving? 
2 channel amp suggestion
If you’re really thinking of upgrading speakers in the not-too-distant future, I’d look to narrow down what those might be as the amp you buy now may not be a good match for those.  That aside, as you seem to prefer a more neutral kind of sound, I... 
purchasing US made speakers
There are nice used pairs of Joseph Audio Perspectives available for around $6k.  Have them sent to Jeff Joseph for latest Graphene upgrade and you’ll have some awesome speaks for around $10k. Another option that could save you $$$ is the LSA 20 S... 
Help with DAC choice....
I’d consider trying an MHDT Pagoda Balanced DAC, and even with upgraded tubes it still comes in under $2200.  You can get them through Linear Tube Audio, and I believe there is a 30-day return or trial period, which is super nice to have especiall...
