I own an SBT and a Marantz NA 7004. The Marantz sounds better but has major reliability issues , and it costs more than twice your budget. In your range the SBT is the only option. I don't think that a TV is necessary
SBT has a large touchscreen that can be viewed from a distance and you can use a tablet or pc to operate it as well.
I actually get the best sound running my MacBook with Decibel via USB into a musical fidelity v link and then an optical out to my Dac. These audiophile streamers really are not necessary.
