Favorite Streamer/DAC combo under 3k?

I second the R-2R recommendation. I have a Denafrips Pontus 15 as well paired with a lowly Bluesound Node via coax and Chord Reference into a Naim Supernait 2, and cannot believe how warm yet crisp it sounds. I balked for years on what DAC to get, tried the Qutest, didn’t quite win me over and I took a chance with the Pontus and am still impressed after 2 years owning it. I may upgrade my streamer but am so satisfied by the current sound I’m in no rush. FYI I am not a true audiophile, I just like music and decent gear.

Buy the new Eversolo T8 ($1,400), AND a used McIntosh D150 DAC (about $1,600).  You can thank me later.  Do not buy a Streamer/DAC combo as most combo DACs are not good.

Eversolo interface is the best, works 100% of the time, company keeps them updated.  Sound out of the T8 is far better than A6, better than A8.  I've had expensive combos and never liked them...

I’ve been really happy with my Gen 1 Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition with LPS as a streamer that feeds a Chord Qutest with sBooster. This combo allowed me to get back to focusing on the music and get off the streamer/DAC merry go round. The rest of the system is Luxman and Harbeth. Enjoy your search! 

I agree with the Eversolo T8 and McIntosh DAC combo recommendation.
