streamers under $1500

Your best bets in that price range are a used Auralic Aries or a Lumin D1.  The Aries Mini was a real bargain but has been discontinued.  If you had your own DAC it did everything you would need including the ability to add internal storage.  While it did have it's own DAC it was from listening to it in my system only for "emergencies."  

The Music Room is advertising that he has NIB Aries Femto's for $899.  From experience the Aries into the MP-D2 via AES/EBU is a great combo.  

Sonica is an option but not the 205. But in the OP's case won't work as it doesn't output digital only analog.
