iFi just released their new ZEN Stream which looks nicely done for $399 .. WiFi & ethernet connections, USB & SPDIF out, and sans DAC to name a few features.

Streaming Transport without DAC- few choices
I already have a very good DAC. I already have a very good preamp. There seems to be a dearth of streaming transports under $2000 which noes not include a DAC, does not include preamp function or does not include both.
So tempted to just get a Mac mini and use that as a dedicated transport/server, played through audirvana
