Some that are more than $1500:
- Auralic Aries G1 or G2
- Bricasti M5
The Auralic Aries models are notable because they have excellent DSP, so can be used to address bass peaks digitally. They also can play CDs from an attached USB optical drive or files from an attached USB thumb drive or hard drive. So really, they are more than streamers, but DAC-free.
