Dac/pre

For his budget I would grab a parasound P5 and pick up a Auralic Aries mini. Would sound pretty good for the money in my opinion.
The P5 also allows a H/T bypass for 2 channel and sub(s) and gives you control over the subs as well.
I don't use the DAC in the P5 though I bring the Bluesound Node2 into the Marantz SA8004 and use it's DAC.
The P5 is a tank at a great price point and there are usually a lot of used one's to choose from or "B" stocks are some times available from Safe and Sound or Audio Advisors.My New Year's resolution is 3840 × 2160
