From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion

I'm contemplating moving from my setup:

Lumin U1 Mini w/sbooster LPS -> Audio Mirror Tubadour SE III DAC

to an all-in-one unit. I will use it strictly as a Roon endpoint. Since there are no R2R NOS type streamers, I've been looking at the AK based ones, like

Rose RS150
Cary DMS-600/650

Also rest of system is Omega 98db speakers, Slagle Autoformer Preamp -> Oliver Sayes 421a based tube amp.

Wonder if I'll be happy with the latest sigma/delta dacs in a all-in-one type unit. Anyone else made a similar move to mine?

I made the move from separates to the T+A SDV 3100 HV (Streamer/Player; DAC; Pre). My (prior) standalone DAC was R2R. The T+A DAC is delta/sigma.

Take a look at their R series Multi Source Player. 

 

T+A MP 2000 R MK II

Thanks @david_ten I've always loved t+a's designs, and would love the MP2000, but about double my budget :)

I don't believe you mentioned a budget but you are already a part of the Lumin family.  I went from separates to the Lumin X-1.  The Lumin X-1 does it all.
