$1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please

@jerrybj Managed to find a used Pro-Ject Stream Box Ultra 2 for $530 in October incl postage.

That's excellent! I've ordered another Stream Box Ultra S2 and Pre Box Digital dac/pre for the patio.  One is preowned from Portugal, the other is an open box from Turntablelab.com in the USA -- let's hope these transactions are trouble free.

I'll hook up that steamer and dac to powered outdoor speakers on the patio.  Speakers aren't great; I can always upgrade them later if the need arises.

Best deal I found for quality streaming for around a grand is the ProJect Stream Box S2 Ultra combined with the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital (DAC/Pre).  These need to be found pre-owned to be under a grand, otherwise they would cost about $1400 new.  I use these in my office system with great results. Best of luck in your search.
