Thank you all for your comments and recommendations. I have a short list now and will continue to search for something in this list within my budget. dmiller01 recommended the now discontinued Playback Designs Merlot DAC. Does anyone else have an...

@mitch2 agreed. @hysteve T&A has some great reviews, particularly this one: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FFy-cVOJNWRY%3Ffeature%3Dshared&data=05%7C02%7C%7C0d6bc643d75f4d2ef20208dc66cce6e3%7C8...

@audphile1 The Bricasti is highly recommended. I recall you had one but moved on to PS Audio. Which model Bricasti did you have?

@helomech Thanks, I have heard great thing about the DMP-A8, but I'd like to stick with separates for now. Although one day, I could see myself going with an active pair of speakers...only! lol

@soix Better presentation of musical overtones, amplitude, pitch, timbre, texture with a wider/deeper soundstage (if this is possible) than I have with my existing DAC. Under $10K, used is OK. Martin Logan speakers used to be a lot brighter in th...

@ghdprentice the Mola Mola has streaming capabilities as well, so is in that all-in-one category.  @tvad point well taking, but tough to demo if you're buying used, which maybe be my case, depending on the price!

@koestner Thanks, which of these have you heard, and which did you prefer? I wonder what might better my Gustard R26 DAC I currently have? The new flavor of the month seems to be the Laiv Harmony DAC: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.co... 
Streamer/DAC combinations
@audphile1 thanks. Like @davegolf2424 here, I too am still on the hunt (at least for the DAC part of things). Whilst at the same time, slowly getting around to upgrading all those darn cables!  
Streamer/DAC combinations
@audphile1 so you're liking the PS Audio DAC over your recently sold Bricasti M3?  
Some Cables Thoughts
@audphile1 I stuck with the Audio Envy 2’ power cord for the amp because I got both male and female male, in the 90° figuration. That will allow me to get the amp close-up to the wall. I looked at the Audience Forte F3 and there are a great price...

OK thank you, I will check it out tomorrow!

Here's a few in that price range I've been looking at: https://ravenaudio.com/product/power-cables/?_ga=2.134956981.594107943.1708477025-685170934.1708477025 https://www.thecableco.com/specials/forte-f3-powerchord.html https://wyred4sound.com/p...

@audphile1 Another AG member recommendation. I’m backing off the DIY so I liked the fact that they offer 90 degree ends. I need 4 power cords, amp, pre-amp, Aurender and DAC. I haven’t ordered them yet, so still open to suggestions. They were jus...
