Recommendation for DAC needed.

I’m looking to replace my Schiit Gumby DAC.  Price range: $2000-3000.
Right now considering Ayre Codex.
Need it for my CD transport as a well as compacity for hi res streaming.
 I don’t need headphone capability.
Any high quality unit recommendations would be appreciated.

Yggy certainly plays high rez to 24/192. Don't see much source material higher than that. It doesn't do DSD, so if ripping SACDs is your thing, look elsewhere.
BTW, Darko's reviews and news on Analog 2 etc. are worthwhile reads. Cheers,
Spencer

Make certain your new DAC has an Ethernet input and can decode MQA.

Based on my needs, and the price, if I do decide to pull the trigger, I will give the Benchmark DAC 3B a tryout.
