Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark?


Time for another change and moving from my Ayre EX8 super integrated with built in streaming and dac to a BAT VK300SE integrated.
So looking to up the ante on streaming and dac sq with a dedicated streamer/dac.
I know this tech moves faster than I can keep track of!
So suggestions around the 2k mark and used is perfectly fine!
Many thanks!

@uberwaltz,

Please post your findings on double smoked USB. Do you know what kind wire is being used in this cable?
Lalitk.
I certainly will.
Bill is burning it in over the weekend on a Orchid he is burning in so should be "well done" 😂😂 when I receive it.

It was a close call between this and the Audio Envy you recommended and I still may buy one of those as well later on.

Bill has never let me down yet though!
Sorry missed a part.
No I do not know what type of wire is used although he did say was 16g against the typical 24 to 22g employed by others.
