Accuphase has a dedicated DAC card if you want to go with a single box solution. The great thing about Accuphase is it has a house sound leaning towards a slight warmth with the ability to extract the dimensional space out of the recording. Beyond that it presents your source as is, so you should definitely hear any upgrade you make to your DAC.

Thanks again- I've got a lot to think about. Accuphase is looking better and better to me, with or without their DAC card. I'm happy with Qobuz/Audirvana so am not too interested in a streamer.
