Move to the next level


I would appreciate opinions. In the past two years I have put together a modest system that has tremendously increased my appreciation of music. I have legacy collections of vinyl and cds, about 500 of each, but what has really excited me is streaming because of the way it lets you roam through time and genre virtually unrestricted. Currently I am listening to a Yamaha wxc50 connected to a Rogue Sphinx which feeds into a pair of KEF LS50s and a Syzygy SLF850 sub. I also have a Mac mini running Audirvana that hosts my ripped collection of CDs in the Apple lossless format and that runs into the Sphinx through a Topping D50s DAC.I am at the point where I'm ready to make a major investment in a quality source for my system to move to the next level of sound quality. I’m thinking of a budget of about $5000 for which I’d like a streamer/server with quality power supplies and preferably the DAC, along with, if within budget,  Roon. Candidates so far are the Aurilac Aries G2, Innuous Zenith Mk II, SOTM SMS200-ultra, and Lumin D2. What do you think fellow sound addicts?

 Not Looking to hijack this thread. I’m thinking about upgrading my Oppo 105 , that I’m using as DAC for my Roon Nucleus. My Oppo is feed into my Marantz Sr7005 via RCA.  Nucleus is connected to the Oppo vis USB.  What would be considered the next level up from the Oppo as a DAC ? 
@gelle  what is your budget and what are you currently using for a USB Cable.
@jazzman7. Budget >2k. Using a pretty standard USB cable that was recommended when I had my Squeeze Box Touch connected to the Oppo using EDO. 
@gelle with that type of budget my personal first choice would be the combination of the Chord Qutest and the Curious USB Cable for use with the Roon Nucleus. That is what I am using in my main rig. Having said that, your budget gives you plenty of other good options .... and a lot depends upon what you are looking for in terms of features from a DAC.
Other choices that I have considered (both new or used) include the very fine Ayre Codex and products offered by Schitt and Mytek among others. But as I said above a lot depends upon what features you value as well as the type of sound that you prefer. Also very much like the Bryston products. I have a BDA-1 (used to be in my main rig, now in a second system), but in your case you would require a BDA-2 or above to mate via USB with your Nucleus.
