adding a DAC/Streamer or what


Good morning,
I have Kef Ref 5's and likely adding a Pass Lab Int 250. Wondering everyones opinion on DAC/Streamers? Also does this equipment need to have high price tags to sound great on this system. At this point, I am not thinking of getting into Vinyl.
I really appreciate input before I make this purchase!

My opinion is buy seperates.  You'll want upgrade the DAC before the streamer.
It seriously depends on what you want to stream now and maybe in the future. They ALL have different features. Personally I won't get one without a USB A input for local files. Maybe you don't care about that. 
Then you could start with a $50 Xiaomi Mi and learn the ropes.
