Given your usage requirements, it sounds like you are probably better off looking at a network capable DAC/pre to accompany your 851C which would then be relegated to transport duties. Personally I see little point in buying a dedicated CDP these days and your usage model also suggests that a standalone DAC with a usb input will meet your needs perfectly. There used to be a case for a dedicated tranport only device which had a low jitter output, but modern cdps like the 851C already have low jitter outputs and modern DACs have very good jitter rejection thus making a dedicated transport largely redundant.
Do you currently use your 851C as a preamp for a separate power amp or do you use an integrated amp? Newer DACs double up as a preamp to directly drive a power amp.
If you don't need BT streaming, then something like the RME ADI-2 DAC FS would give you a reference grade system. Keep in mind that this product is designed for neutrality and is intended for Mastering, but if that is your thing, you don't need to be spending anywhere close to the amount you have said you can go up to! I myself am looking at the RME ADI2 Pro FS which is an ADC/DAC combined but otherwise the same as the ADI-2 DAC.
