Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC

Looking for a streamer with AES3 out, doesn't need a DAC and has a remote control. I have looked at Cocktail X50D and Lumin U1 mini ( no remote) but their new volume control by app looks interesting. Anything else in that price range around $2000 ? Thanks for any suggestions.

Auralic's G1 has an MSRP of $2700, and Matrix Audio's Mini-I is relatively inexpensive (I'm not sure of the current price).

The Leedh volume algorithm is excellent and a significant improvement over the previous Lumin volume algorithm.

@djones51 another option is to get a high-quality converter, if another box isn't a problem. That would give you a lot more flexibility in the streamer, while still ending up with AES3 to your speakers. I recommend the MUTEC MC-6.

Oops, my bad on the Matrix Audio. I got input confused with output. Sorry.
