Is there a better all-in-one streamer/DAC/Integrated Amp under USD 5K?


For driving a pair of small, 4 ohm 86 dB speakers (DALI Menuet SE) for a small to medium size room at low to moderate SPLs, is there a Roon Ready,  all-in-one streamer/DAC/Integrated Amp under USD 5K that is likely to perform sonically  better than the Gato DIA 250S NPM?

@greenngoldcheesehead that unit looks fantastic.  All those class A watts! 
if I had room for a full size (17” +) unit like that, I think it would go to the top of the list.   
thank you for pointing it out.  I had not come across it before. 

Cary Audio (of tube amp fame) Aios.  "Lifestyle" product.  Works for me! about 1.5K used. Works great a s a Roon endpoint in my system.

Cary Audio of North Carolina does tube amps.  However,  consider their:  Aios.  "Lifestyle" product.  .  About $1.5K used. Works great as a Roon endpoint in my system.  A step up: their integrated DMS 300A is $4500 new from their website.  

You betcha..

You would be foolish not to look at the NAD M33. Used prices are now down to below $3000.  Unanimous rave reviews when released and still a top tier piece. After 18 months of auditions it was a clear winner. Drives my MoFi Sourcepoint 888’s superbly.
