Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp

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)..

Thanks so much for the recommendations and knowledge 

Just got a Naim NAC N272 on a trade. Running it into a Pass XA30.5. It’s very very good IMO. Just being phased out but has been a 6k model since 2016. Can pick one up for $1500 or so now used. Steal for that price.

Have you already purchased the Eversolo? If not, I would seriously consider purchasing an Aurender, Innous or Lumin Streamer/DAC instead. I have heard some disturbing comments about the firmware upgrades and customer support that you should look into.

I would at least read some of the Eversolo articles on this site. I was considering the Eversolo and asked for feedback myself.

I ended up going with Aurender.

Eversolo Aurender

Check out the Aurender A1000 , yes it's a lot more than the A8 but you are getting a lot more.   Eversolo support is bad,  every firmware update has new issues and the problems they were supposed to correct aren't.  Total amateurs at software development compared to Innuos, Aurender, Bluesound.  

Don't fall for the Eversolo hype, it is disposable HiFi.
