Streamers sans DAC?

Is there a good option out there for a Hi-res Streamer without a DAC built in?
Anyone with a decent stand alone DAC may feel the same way. Ideas?

From experience, SGC microRendu and SOtM have zero support. Otherwise you'll just get plugs from owners.

Auralic is Apple Crapple only. miniDSP SHD Studio does DSP, a headphone amp with hardware level control, three remote switchable digital inputs and both iOS and Android control apps built in.. Put a Teddy Pardo on it and outperform the Auralic for less long green.
