Definitely will see an improvement with Qobuz vs Spotify.
The other site has a used (dealer owned) Aurender N100 which is well in your budget at $1195. I think that would be a reasonable start. It has been replaced by the N150, so likely why good prices are available.
The danger would be once you hear how great streaming sounds through a quality system, you may get the upgrade itch. That's how I ended up with the N20 lol
