Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers


For those of you that have compared the Node 2/2i to some of the more expensive streamers like Lumin, Aurender, etc., what do the big boys bring to the table. Forget the internal DACs, I'm sure theirs beats the Node. I'm talking about using these devices as stand alone streamers into an outboard DAC. What are the differences you've heard?

Had Bluesound 2i to Chord M-Scaler/Qutest DAC.  Not bad.
Changed to Melco N100/TeddyPardo LPS/Curious USB cable.
Betters my EMT948 turntable.
For me the jump from $500 to $2500 was about 30%... but my $2500 was Melco... not sure what happens with other $2500's.
