Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer

Hello, I am wondering if anyone would recommend a combination DAC/Streamer that will also be able to accommodate or allow me to connect my CD Transport?  I often stream music when I am playing background music and as of now have a Schiit Audio Modi as my Dac and an original Bluesound Node as my streamer.  I also run a Cambridge Audio CD transport connected to the Modi.  I would like to puchase a combination product to minimize the number of boxes.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  Thank you in advance.

Gustard R26! Great sounding r2r dac with built in streamer. I use the built in streamer by the lan connection, have my Mac book pro connected by usb, have my cd transport connected by coax, and once in a while go to my iphone through Bluetooth. On dac with all the connection option, and best of all it sounds fantastic for $1500 us!

HiFi Rose Rs150B for 5k (I own and recommend), I have heard good things about the Ayon streamer ( I own their Kronos tube DAC and love it). I have read that the Meitner MA3 is very good for the 10K range, but I have no personal experience with it. Really it boils down to your price range, whether you want a R2R dac or a Delta Sigma dac and most importantly to me, what you can demo or what has a good return policy in case you don't like it.
