Pre amp with Dac

Is there a Pre with a dac included out there in the $2500 used that does a good job. I stream Tidal from my computer; no phono needed. I use Bel Canto 600ref mono's for amps. Thanks Gary

I recently auditioned the Codex and found it just a little bit better all around (but not enough to feel it was worth the price to upgrade). The following week I heard the Chord Hugo2 and that just seemed to do everything right. Saving my money for one now.
