Rs507 the best bang for your buck will be a streamer/dac.
You have a lot of advantages in such a design and only one possible disadvantage, that disadvantage being you may pay for a dac that you won't use if you upgrade later.
A steaming Dac requires no digital cable to link a separate dac and streamer so you save money, you have one chassis so you save space and you need only one power cord which also saves money.
Also with an all in one you will probably have much less jitter so for the same money you should be able to achieve better sound for less money.
Even witn a dac streamer you can often times just bypass the dac stage and use the dac streamer just as a streamer.
Ultimately it comes down to listening if you have your mind set on a particular dac with a streamer you need to then listen and see how that compares to today's best streamers.
