Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp

Separates are more versatile but some want the convenience of all in one.  I also think separates are the way to go but it’s a personal choice.

Musical Fidelity mx-Dac 799.00 and Musical Fidelity MX-stream 1,149

Would that be a good way to go

Agree to go with separates.  I’d go with a Denafrips Ares 15th and a Bluesound Node with an external linear power supply from Teddy Pardo, Sbooster, LHY, etc.  A little north of $2k but worth the stretch IMO.  Down the road you could add a Denafrips Iris DDC to run i2S into the Ares for another significant performance bump.  Just one idea, and best of luck. 

I've got an Ayre QB-9 Twenty DAC I'm selling.  Add a decent streamer and you will outperform lots of much higher priced setups.

The Gustard R26 dac has a built-in renderer/streamer that you can use with software like Audivarna.  It's around $1600.  You could also pair it with a Node for a little more than 2K.  Personally, I think the built in renderer sounds a little better.

I eventually upgraded my streamer to an Innuous Zen Mk3, but I'm still using the Gustard dac (with a U18 ddc and LYH ock-2 clock)..
