Any “value” competitor streamers vs Bluesound Node 2i?


I’m looking to upgrade from the Apple TV.   I am looking to run into a Benchmark 2 HGC.  Is the Node 2i the only game in town for under $500- 1k?  Open to used. 
-Thanks

If you can find a used Aries Mini, fairly hard to do, grab it unless you care about Amazon which I don't. Also used 1st gen Aries are now around $7-800 used I really like their LDS control app as well.
I've been looking at upgrading myself but after continually checking out some of these new streamers I always come back to the Auralic Aries LE I have been using for the past 5 or so years.
