Need Opinions for Streamer/DAC [One Box - Not Separates] Budget Approx. $ 5,000


Hello - 

I have a MAC7200 receiver and Focal Sopra 3 speakers. My requirements for streamer/DAC are as follows:

1. MUST be wireless, as no ethernet in man cave [this precludes several brands]

2. MUST have either Tidal or Quobuz, and internet radio

I've been researching HiFi Rose RS-151 and Cary Audio DMS-700. We're talking delta-sigma ESS9039PRO vs R2R AKM AK4499EQ. Does anybody have experience with both units who can supply an opinion? Alternate suggestions certainly welcome. Open to used or open box or demo. Thank you for your opinions!

Moon 280D was my first DAC/Streamer upgrade from the Node 2i. 
 

I experienced an improvement in sound detail and dynamics- the Moon software interface is excellent as well.  I appreciate the simplicity of a DAC / streamer.
