There's the ADI-2 DAC FS which sells for about $900-$1200. Not sure what price range you're looking at.

Never tried myself but Burson make a number of remote controlled models.... the Play is $250 (apparently the remote costs some extra)

You've to purchase the remote separately.

I have the Topping D50S coupled with a JDS Labs Atom. Works and sounds great. Never tried my remote, though (still in the box somewhere).

Topping DX7s Pro, it's what I've been using for several months :)

I bought two remotes for it, so as to have a backup remote.

Could be a save bet.
The DX7pro is on my list too.
