Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?


Just as the title explains..

Currently using an Auralic Mini to Mytek Liberty.  Looking for a one box solution to save space/cables primarily, but if sound quality improvement is capable in the under $3K range as well, then WOOHOO!!!

Will be hooked up to a Yamaha A-S2100 integrated, Spendor A4 speakers.

I've previously used: Lumin D2, and PS Audio DSD Jr. - and both of those sounded the same as my current setup, and I'm not against going back to either of those since they fit the requirements.

Open to all/any other suggestions.  I have my eye currently on: Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the Teac NT-505.  Would prefer a component that offers balanced & unbalanced outputs, and volume control isn't needed of course.

Best,
Rob

@audiotroy - I always enjoy your knowledgeable posts and I don’t find you to come across as a salesman at all - you tend to show a lot of restraint in light of the negativity thrown your way and provide some very very useful first hand information.  

I use a Nativ Vita as my music server and they have a matching DAC which I don’t have - anyone use this combo? (comes in around $3K).  

I use my Vita with Roon and a SSD hard drive and love it’s interface - my DAC is a Cary DMC 600 as I still listen to CDs.  Personally I like the sound of Cary equipment.  I had an Aurelic Vega before it and I liked it as well.
