See if you can find a dealer that still has an Auralic Aries Mini in stock or look for a used one. Far superior in my testing to the Node 2 with much better software. It is not discontinued but Auralic has temporarily stopped production of it and the standard Aries until they catch up on the demand and pre-orders for their new G2 series products. It has a built in DAC just to have one though to me not great sounding. Also allows for adding an internal HD for onboard storage. They are in high demand on the used market and usually don't last more than a day or two at most.
