Looking for a DAC that also has a preamp built in with a remote also! Up to £500 is my budget.

Cheers all

If you don't need a phono stage then the first model Quad Vena is a very versatile DAC with a respectable integrated amp ... but also has outputs to use as a Preamp:
Couple on the bay at the moment under your budget:

I have had one for a couple of years now and been very pleased with it :thumbsup:
