What the title says really. Im fairly new to the world of high end(ish) audio and was just looking for some advice to complete the set up. Any advice would be appreciated.

Budget? Around $300 DACport LX will pair nicely  in that setup IMO

Was thinking no more than £200 (I'm from England) so that'll be around the $300 region, but then if it only ships from America I'd need to factor postage into the cost.

You could go the ODAC or HRT Music Streamer II route, both are pretty respectable DACs for what they cost.

ODAC? What's the brand for that one?

It's a 24-bit, up to 96 kHz USB-only DAC by (in)famous audio blogger ________ and yoyodyne, distributed by various sources.  The different sources may add their own enclosure or branding, but the populated PCB (as in, the circuit including all electronics) come from the same producer.  i.e. it's the same design, no matter who you buy from.  In UK, you probably want to check out Epiphany Acoustics.
