$1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please

@jerrybj Managed to find a used Pro-Ject Stream Box Ultra 2 for $530 in October incl postage.

That's excellent! I've ordered another Stream Box Ultra S2 and Pre Box Digital dac/pre for the patio.  One is preowned from Portugal, the other is an open box from Turntablelab.com in the USA -- let's hope these transactions are trouble free.

I'll hook up that steamer and dac to powered outdoor speakers on the patio.  Speakers aren't great; I can always upgrade them later if the need arises.

Auralic Aries G1, I'm using the G2 in a $100K+ system and it's not holding anything up. You can also upgrade the power supply later should you choose to.

Do a BS node and there is a Peachtree iDAC (32 bit 9016 ESS Sabre) over on USAudiomart for $250. Make and nice little toe dip. IMO the iDAC is a good value at $250.  Also a wired 4 sound modified Sonos gen 2 connect over there for like $175.  I been running one of those for years on a 2nd system and they work well.
