Ideon DAC's

Been looking for a DAC/Streamer for about 1 year and still have not decided on one. My system is pretty basic, which started out as a dedicated home theater and decided I want to stream music. Currently streaming from Qobuz from via my IPad.

I was introduced to Ideon (never heard of previously). Was thinking of the following two products. Ayazi or Ion dac+ preamp with a Bluesound node.

Current system is as follows:

ATI 4005 amp

Marantz AV7706 processor

Sonus Faber Sonneto V Speakers

Any input  or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don’t advise that, what is your max budget ? 
if you buy Roon streamer , then when you can buy a decent Seperate linear power supply like the. Linear Tube Audio LPS that’s a huge step in sonics and dedicated power supply ,you can buy one step at a time . The dac  built in to most of these streamers cannot compare , the Gustard R26 is excellent for $1600 or less $$ under $1k the Denafrips Aries-2.
