Dac with build-up streamer

Bricasti M3. But network renderer, not a streamer. Meaning it is a Roon endpoint or can be used with mconnect but doesn’t have its own UI. 

I'm a fan of the Matrix Audio DACs with built in streaming. They have different models starting under $1,000 and going up to about $10,000 with many stops along the way. The different models I've used sounded just as good from the integrated streaming as they did from a really nice external source from Aurender or Lumin. 

DACs are a very personal choice, and what are the odds that a combo unit has the best DAC for your tastes and a streamer with excellent performance and the user interface you like best?  I’d put those odds at close to zero and there will be a significant compromise somewhere.  Go with separates.

I have been reading about the Audio Analogue AADAC, the Bluetooth looks like it’s really good…so your smart phone is the streamer…it has a good volume control so you don’t need a preamp…anyone have any experience with it..

Yes, I have owned a sub-$5k dac with streamer.  Moon 280D is an excellent solution.

There's trade-off's and benefits for combined units - I chose Moon 280D based on how it sounded and my goals (at the time).  I currently have Moon 791 which is a pre-amp with a built-in DAC/Streamer and phono stage.  I love it and again there are trade-offs I've made that I think are well worth it.

My advise is listen to as many different options as possible then evaluate based on your goals.  And consider if you will be using software like Roon or not it creates another option.
