Msb dacs why not alot of postings
HiFi news compared some high priced DACs. Chord Dave was top, then Mola Mola , various dCS then last MSB. Whatever that's worth.

There are well designed American made DACs which are a fraction of the cost of an MSB. There is not really a lot of difference in DACs other than engineers chasing better inaudible numbers. MSB makes very well engineered DACs and it cost a lot to ... 
Amp for B&W 805 D3
Try the new NAD M33. Streamer,dac, dirac all in one unit.

You might look at JBL Studio powered monitors as an alternative to keep within your budget. You sacrifice asthectis for more power and more reasonable price.

I don't know about being the best perhaps one of the most expensive. 
External DAC?
Just make sure you can return whatever you try. The Topping D90 you mentioned it a good DAC. If you don't need volume control or MQA try a Topping E30. There are a lot of good DACs out there you don't need to spend a fortune for great sound.

Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions

Roon Certification News, Share
Roon notifed the companies who needed to complete the process in 2018 so they had a bit more than 2 weeks.  
Roon Certification News, Share
This is much ado about nothing or very little. If your roon ready network player is listed on the roon site then you have no concern. So far the only one perhaps two that could be affected are the Chord 2go and one Briscati M3 maybe? There is prob... 
Kudos Titan 505 Standmount speakers // One Of The Very Best Standmount Speakers ?
I wouldn't label any speaker one of the best without seeing some measurements on them. I can't find anything on their website. They look nice, I like the idea of bypassing the passive crossover they get good subjective reviews.  
Cambridge CXN vs Bluesoune Node?
Dirac is comparable to ARC. You can tweak Dirac more than ARC but you don't have to, you can use the filter it recommends.
