Streaming Dac $5000-8000

Hi there.
I am after a streamer dac one piece unit

ideally with a very natural sound, slightly warm midrange, and with good streamer app…

its for use on harbeth shl5 plus

was thinking lumin t3. any others to consider Like auralic Altair g2.1? Auralic Vega is a bit over budget

moon seems to be well regarded, but they have a big gap between the 280d and 680d. 390 would be overkill as don’t need the preamp

I like the luxman d03x cd player sound, but that doesn’t have a streamer

thanks

I was quite impressed with what was accomplished with this device. I will say the Lumin/TEAC/Esoteric app is certainly not my go to…I really prefer Mconnect.
