Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)

All - my budget is uh, flexible. Up to $5K USD. I bought the hifi rose 150B but since it has way too many bugs, I am returning it. 
What is your experience look like with Bluesound, Eversolo and other brands in a similar price point? I can’t audition so I am looking to see what others have to say (if possible, as compared to the hifi rose 150b). 
(1) how is the hardware? (2) interface on the hardware? (3) app? (4) sound quality?

 

the rose 150b had GREAT SQ but the constant interruptions in playback was such a downer. 
 

what other brands can i consider?

i am weary about spending $5K without demo-ing (it’s messed up, i know) but that is my budget. of course if there is a consensus about SQ at a lower price point, then i don’t even have to go to $5K. 
 

I know, this sounds weird. But the experience with rose was traumatic. I don’t want to put any dealer through any kind of “troubleshoot with me” and “return it” ordeal again :( 

 

thank you all in advance

With a $5K budget, streamer dac option I would be strongly considering the Lumin P1 Mini. You may also be able to find a used Lumin P1 if you are patient. Or you could get a Lumin U2 mini + the dac of your choice. 

I have not used Aurlic products in several years, but their Vega S1 has had me curious, or you could go Aries S1 + $2K Dac of your choice. Or bump up to one of their G line of products.
