Pass....Accuphase....or......
Pass would by my recommendation, but you should audition it with your speakers to verify that it's enough power.  
Micromega M-100 with MARS or Copland CSA 70
Agree with @dwest1023   
Who is Roon?
I had a cat named Roon.  He was awesome!  
If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be?
I've always wanted an older Levinson DAC like the 360S, that's probably where I'd be shopping.  :)    
BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
I've heard MC Audio TL-12's at low volumes and they sounded excellent.  Worth a listen if you're near PA as they offer auditions.  
Recordings with BASS

Better DAC or better Streamer
DAC without question.  
Wireworld Series 10

Audio Cables: All the Same?
I began as somewhat of a skeptic many many years ago but over the years I slowly upgraded my cables with very good results.   Recently I re-organized my speakers from the typical placement with electronics between my speakers, to the speakers bei...
