Everyone,
Need some help on deciding on a DAP for portable/stationary use so needs to be semi-portable.

It will be used for IEMs (Original Solaris and maybe a new pair) and full size headphones (think Focal Celeste, maybe Ananda).

I like a lush, vacuum tube type sound and would like to spend under $2K.

Streaming Tidal is a must.

Any suggestions?

This may be unconventional, but perhaps WA8 Eclipse+shanling M3 Ultra (or a used cheap DAP) as the source. Can even use a smartphone.
