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

@jwillox I already have a Lumin U1 Mini with LPS, which would be a better streamer portion vs D2, and I love my DAC. If I were going to stay Lumin I'd be looking at T2 or higher. 

Too many choices here :D need to start buying and selling

I went the same route and ended up with a Linn Akurate DSM and have no need to look any further. Is future proof and sounds wonderful. Pricey though but it’s the end game for me.

Thanks @jb505  the Linn has come up a few times and something I should look at. 

Short list:
Bricasti M3
Meitner MA3
Linn Accurate DSM

I do like the fact that the Linn has analog input so I could connect my phono preamp to it. 

I'm sure anyone would sound amazing but I'd vote for the Bricasti for 2 reasons. 1 made in USA and second excellent customer support if ever needed. I love my own M3

You can get an R2R streaming DAC in the form of the Bricasti M21 or M21 Platinum. The M21 includes three distinct digital processing paths: 1/ Sigma-Delta, including DoP, 2/ R2R, 3/ DSD in analog. Roon recognizes it as an endpoint and the network connection is via Ethernet. $16K or $19K, depending on whether you get the standard or Platinum version. Certainly not cheap but not stratospherically-priced and better than most of what is priced higher.
