Best DAC - Preamp Combo $5 to $10K Budget


I'm waiting for the day my Levinson 380S bites the dust like my Chord DAC 64 just did.  Both of them are/were 15 to 20 years old with heavy use.  Anyway, is there a really reference level DAC - Preamp combination out there for from $5K to $10K?  Thanks in advance!

ML 585 or 585.5 integrated amp can be found for less than 10k. You get a great amp section too. Very nice piece. 
it’s just not the same without a preamp. i’ve tried rationalizing that i could save all that money. but direct just wasn’t good. imo
