At your budget, definitely separates. A Gustard R26 DAC and the new Innuos Pulse streamer would be in your budget and be a great combo. With a streamer you want to pay attention to its software/app, and by all accounts the Innuos Sense app is a winner whereas some other streamer’s apps get some mixed reviews. Best of luck.
dac and streamer or seperates
Want to spend about 5k
System right now is a Krell S-300 love it!
B&W 804's love them too
Well treated medium sized room.
but I'm using the built in streamer and dac.
I would like to take my streaming to the next level.
At 5k would you go separate DAC and Separate Streamer or all in one?
