I am using the eversolo DMP A8 with I2S DH labs silver cable in the Laiv dac.
It brings me to 5,2k$ for streamer, cable and DAC combo. Futhermore, the streamer has DSP to fine tune the sound as i want. A lot cheaper than than your 6.2k$ and i am really happy with that. I must admit I have a great pre amp c2800 that help a lot...
