looking for a dac

Looking to add a dac to my system
using an integrea drx3 for pre/pro
sony es amp 5.1
tekton lores 
nad cbe cd 
svs pb 200 sub
svs prime mini surrounds snell in wall high rear
7.1 set up using integra to run snells 
running tidal through the integra the interface sucks 
was looking for dac recomendations under 1000$
only product im familiar with is bluenode 2i

priorities are a better Tidal experience and a warm sound for music listening

the NAD at $1k is better than the built in Bluesound DAC, I believe it is the M-51
Brother in law has both
IMO the Amber II by Lampizator is much more musical but slightly less etched/detailed. New about $2,200
Can every now and then be found used...
maybe save up for something significantly better than the competent DAC in the Bluesound...
have fun
enjoy the music.

Do try to get the Bluesound on a seperate circuit, all your digital stuff, wallwarts, etc away from the analog circuits....
