Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer


Hello, I am wondering if anyone would recommend a combination DAC/Streamer that will also be able to accommodate or allow me to connect my CD Transport?  I often stream music when I am playing background music and as of now have a Schiit Audio Modi as my Dac and an original Bluesound Node as my streamer.  I also run a Cambridge Audio CD transport connected to the Modi.  I would like to puchase a combination product to minimize the number of boxes.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  Thank you in advance.

+1 again for the Auralic Altair G1 or 1.1 now.  Great performance for its price I think. I have one in a second system, run it on wifi, and it immediately brought out much better sound over my cd player or lesser streaming sources.  IMHO much better than node or other $1000 solutions.  And one box.  I run an Auralic G2.1 in my main system with a custom power supply.  but the Altair gives close to that performance at a reasonable price.  Talk to GTT audio.  Ken

and oh yes thank you @verdantaudio  I run Roon at my home, but the Altair is at my vacation home and I do not have Roon.  The Auralic software is very nice and works perfectly, though I miss my Roon playlists.
