There are some used Mytek Manhattan dacs out there in this price range, Stereophile Class A+ recommended.  They sound incredible. Benchmark DAC3 is great too in this price range.

I currently have 250 wpc and previous levinson Amp was 300. I like having the headroom and not strain the Amp like I did with a Rotel with 200wpc. To each his own but I play a little loud at times. I like to feel the music.   250 watts is perfect...

Piebaldpython. I don't think my rack will hold the weight of the 350.8 or it could be an option. Thanks

Thanks for the input. I think I have narrowed down between the Pass Labs x250.8 and the Simaudio Moon 870a as both have great reviews and power range I'm needing between 250-300 wpc. Although the Mcintosh is interesting.    
Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
You should definitely check out Revel F228be or even Revel F208's . I auditioned Monitor Audio against Revels on the same system of electronics in the same room and the Revels were much better. I bought the Revel F228be's and love their Soundstage... 
Meitner Ma3 Streaming vs Aurender
Aurender makes great streamers, I love mine but Mytek Manhattan is a great dac that you can add a network card for great results. I don't hear enough about Mytek days on Agon much but have great reviews.

DAC upgrade
Take a serious look at the Benchmark Dac3. I had paired with an Ayre preamp and Mark Levinson Amp and sounded amazing.

Preamp headphone amplifier
Velocityofhue    Thanks for the reply. I like mostly 60's, 70's , 80's rock not much hard rock unless driving. More like Steely Dan, Boston, Ambrosia,  etc. Lots of music with instruments and harmonies. My current setup is the 526 preamp, Levinson... 
Streaming DAC recommendation
I would keep your preamp in the mix with one of the streamer/dac combos recommended here as all are very good. i've read and heard with my own ears that a good preamp adds some magic than just a dac as volume control.

Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
Good streamers are just as important as other equipment. Get a good streamer like an Aurender.  
Ultrasonic cleaning
I have the Kirmuss which cleans 3 at a time for about $1,000. I have seen a new product HumminGuru on Amazon for $499 which cleans and drys 1 record at a time. It has good reviews.
