New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC


Curious what people would think is the biggest bang for the buck?

1)  Auralic Aries G1 Streamer with current Pass Labs D1 DAC (Aries would replace current Auralic Aries mini)
2)  Lumin T2
3)  Auralic Aries mini (I have this now) and Denafrips Terminator

All thoughts welcome.  Thanks

Many suggest having all in one box solution (like the T2, Brooklyn Bridge, etc) due to eliminating the usb connection. Is the usb connection from streamer to the dac is as big of deal as many say (noise, jitter, etc) or over hyped? One benefit of the Lumin T2 is the usb output  so one could use a different DAC if they wish.
