The miniDSP DDRC-24 is a great unit. It serves as a pre-amp and DAC and includes Dirac Live room correction. It's has a small footprint. My only knock is that I wish all inputs/outputs were on the back of the unit instead of front & back.
The NAD c658 is a network streamer, DAC and pre-amp all in one unit and also includes Dirac Live. This will be my next upgrade.
