DAC upgrade
I would also consider Simaudio Moon MiND 2 streamer. I have it in addition to the dCS Network Bridge and Moon, while as not as good as Bridge, comes pretty close.

DAC upgrade
Merason Frerot DAC + Upgraded Power Supply. I have both Benchmark DAC3 B and Frerot and while Benchmark has nice detailed sound Frerot is just pure, analog like sounding music.

Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
Esoteric F-03A
