Higher End DACs

I am looking for a DAC (potentially streamer&DAC) to be paired in a mcintosh system (c1100/611). Its my first foray into digital streaming and I have no need for a CD player.

I see a lot of love for Esoteric, however, most seems to be around their transports? Are they not as renowned for pure digital streaming and/or standalone DACs? I see DCS (for instance) often referenced for standalone DACs - how does Esoteric compare?

OK, I understand dmance now he's selling a $4000 box that eliminates RF that only bats could hear.

Sorry, I only got as far as the second sentence, “Magnetic transducers (loudspeakers) get perturbed to produce hums and rumbles in sympathy with RF frequencies in the audible range,”  before I stopped reading. RF frequencies are not in the audible range.  I bet you didn’t know this forum was peer reviewed, did you? 😬 Shut the cave door and back to pigmy country!
