“I know this will stir up a lot of reactions” @jonwolfpell  Innuos Zenith Mk 3 w/ the Border Patrol DAC …👍👍  
Accuphase dac 60
@duketbrd88 The DAC60 option board should be installed in slot #1. The slot #2 is for optional phono board. Please make the swap and let us know if you hear any difference. Also what is your source and how it is connected to DAC60.

Request recommendations to purchase a streaming device
For video and audio streaming, HIFI Rose 150B is a great recommendation. Please sign up for Qobuz (music) once you pull the trigger on 150B. Also, a wired Ethernet connection is recommended.

RE:Gain. It is very common to have different gain settings between two devices from different manufacturer. I don’t understand what is the issue here? So what if you have to increase volume by 15-16db, it shouldn’t matter as long as you are not pu...

Try Zavfino Majestic PC. Outstanding build quality and high performance for the money.   
Network Bridge/Streamer only for Qobuz
In your budget, look into iFi Zen Streamer + LPS or a BlueSound Node 2 (bypass it’s internal DAC). The Node app is pretty robust and gives you easy access to many cloud based streaming platforms. One of the important part of streaming experience i... 
Aurender N200
@oddiofyl  Forgot to add, get Samsung SSD drives. They are slightly more expensive than HDD but offer quieter and faster operation.   
Aurender N200
