$1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please

My vinyl is down for a few months so I thought I'd maybe grab a streamer dac to listen to. Separates or one piece doesn't matter. Any suggestions? Is there an older dac that's a good value.

Thanks in advance!

Very nice and musical for the price range. Everything you could need at at 1000 bucks ish . The Dac isnt bad and the app for it is very simple and is also roon ready. Very practical and enjoyable. The sound is on the warmer side. I do use a simple all tube set up. Primaluna EVO 400 pre amp and the Mcintosh Mc1502 with a slightly forward sounding Speaker Elac FS249. They all balance out.
