How much should I spend on a new DAC

@vonhelmholtz 

I'm also interested in all in one solution as well. The TEAC UD-701N seems like a good choice to me.

I really wasn’t referring to an all in one solution, but that would be one option.

I guess that a reasonable response would be how much are you willing to spend?  I suspect that your budget will determine the answer in that your system would probably benefit from a major upgrade to both your streamer and DAC.

I don't expect to hear day and night difference when I'll upgrade the DAC, that is why I'm not sure how much should I spend. I feel I should not exceed 3k but I'm not sure weather 1k will make any difference. 

Lumin U2 Mini and keep your Pro Ject DAC .

Roon ready
 

2400$

check out the Denafrips Pontus and Venus - and the listed price is Singapore dollars, about $1900 and $3200 USD...the Pass is a great amp and puts out way more power than it's Class A rating would suggest...
