@alaindexe You state there is reliability issues with the Starkrimson mono's, care to share? I haven't heard or read of any issues.  
Significant steps? (DAC)

I love my Freya+. The only thing I would upgrade to would be a SupraTek but every time I listen to my Freya I say no need to upgrade.  
Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ?
