It seems you don't have even the basic concept of network streaming, so I will move on.Which brings me back to my first premise..if you want to use a computer and USB DAC, which is fine, why did you try a network streamer? Again, there are USB only DACs strictly for use with computers that would be a better choice.
If you want to move "up" from the Korg, then that provides for different recommendations. The Marantz HD DAC1 I mentioned is a great choice, also the Benchmark DAC2, and I am sure others can recommend more. You need to say how much you want to spend.

The Korg has Line Out, I don't use headphones.
Mini Dacs, like the Korg weigh a few ounces, I want something with a real Analog out, transformer, the whole thing, like the Marantz. Streaming is just one feature.
I have a Sony Hap Z1 for the main system, streaming isn't important to me.
Understood. So you are not looking for a portable or mini DAC, or streamer DAC.
So, if I understand correctly, it must be DSD capable. You still need let people know your BUDGET. Otherwise you will get a lot of posts wasting your time.
OK, I'm going to find out what I need to get for Streaming!
I've already spent $1200, the Mytek is $200 more ( I wish I'd realized that sooner ).
I'm comfortable with $1500 total.
Thanks for your input!
MiniMax has two new DSD DACs I would take a look at them. Swap in discreet op-amps and I think they wound be killer. I have the non-DSD Minimax plus with Dexa op-amps and am extremely happy. The initial comments are that the new DACs are even better.
For what it is worth, forget the MyTek. Will grate your ears. Op Amp City.
