Another option, especially if you are considering going the Roon route, is to pair a Roon Nucleus with a good USB capable DAC. With a decent USB cable connecting the two, this makes for a marvelous pairing.
I am currently using a Roon Nucleus tied to a Chord Qutest via Curious USB Cable ($350), and can highly recommend this combination. And if you decide you need a place to store CD rips and/or downloads, the Roon Nucleus also has an internal bay which can be fitted with an HDD or SSD. Roon Nucleus lists for $1400. Roon subscriptions with or without Nucleus go for $119 a year or $699 lifetime.
