DAC question

I'm in a process of building my sound system. Currently it consists of B&W Matrix 803 S2 and Luxman M600-A amp. The next step is to get a DAC. I'm thinking about Luxman DA-06 or Aqua La Scala Mk II but not sure if it's really make sense to pay such money for DAC when using in such system. All my music is in flac (or other lossless formats)...

Unless you have paid for a tweaked out Mac, chances are your computer server is a snore for digital playback excitement. Move your music to a Synology NAS and get an Auralic Aries streamer... you are just not providing the source needed to hear what your DAC can do. And oh yeah... the Aries can feed coax to your DAC or you can use the Audiophilleo you have if you prefer it.

Thank you all for the replies! As a source I'm using mediapleer Dune HD Base 3D now but was going to change it for Windows based notebook. I'm not a fan of Apple products so it's not an option for me for sure)

So I guess I'll try Schiit Gungnir DAC. At least it's not so pricy) Sad that they are not sending directly to Russia...
