Hi there and welcome to the forum, most people here are very knowledgeable and great for hints an tips. I'm also in the Uk ( sunny Scotland ) so an extra big welcome. You asked about a DAC and the one I use for streaming and mastering CDs with is the Oppo Sonica DAC which probably has everything you would need and it can decode quite a lot of streams though Not MQA but anything else is really good and great quallity sound also.
