DAC for Aurender N200

The N200 has only USB and coax outputs. But I would like to use USB with a superior DAC and it sounds like used ARC DAC 9 would fit that bill. I have always aspired to  hear what an ARC piece would do in my (slowly evolving) system. Will be on lookout for a used DAC 9. Failing that, I gather T+A DAC 200, Denafrips Terminator (product support after Vinshine?), Bricasti, PS Audio might all provide a distinct improvement. Thanks to all for insights. Any other info welcome pending good luck on the used market.

@lalitk Given the state of my hearing, I'm unlikely ever to move up to N20. So as you say, the goal is to connect N200 via USB to a better DAC. Wondering which if any of those recommended above you would pair with the N200?

@lalitk  @audphile1 & others very helpful, many thanks. I always prefer the warm side for extended listening, whatever the genre. This tends to mean Class A amplification and/or tubes somewhere along the way.

@fthompson251 Does one pre-order the Terminator 15th direct from Denafrips since the Vinshine demise? How much VAT/other taxes?

Owing to uncorrectable hearing loss, the very top end is wasted on me. Which means audio budget is limited not only by finance, but by inability to hear the higher levels of refinement. Ear fungus, alas, is a real thing. Ate a hole in right eardrum 20 years ago, and now left as well. "Healing" means permanent scar tissue. But that's for another thread.
 

Thanks to the many A'goners who weighed in on this. I will soon be making the best-informed device acquisition of my career.

@stievus Thank you for the introduction to Le Dac2, one of the few new-to-me DACS mentioned here that checks all my boxes, including cosmetically.. Read up on it, including reviews which suggest I would prefer it to T+A Dac2. Impossible to guess what synergy it might have in my system, but If buying new and if trial is  offered, I could test with Terminator/Venus (R-2R for less $). (Though coming tariffs may confine all of us DAC-seekers to the US-made & used markets).

@benzman T+A Dac 200 ----> tube preamp ----> Class A SS amp?

@adasdad Right, that is where this thread originated. I have researched every DAC mentioned, about 30 of them, and compiled my short list. Plan is to audition those available new within my budget, and if unsatisfied, try those on used market offering quick turnaround in case of dissatisfaction. That said, the bar is pretty low for audible improvement on my existing "legacy" DAC.

@adasdad Original question was specifically directed to other users of Aurender N200 with experience of various DACs connecting via USB. Got multiple hits for ARC Ref9, T+A DAC200, Denafrips Terminator 15, Bricasti M3. Yes I want musicality, but specifically also a more convincing soundstage and richer instrumental timbres. Already got a shiny powered box that looks just fine. Want a better one with OXCO. 

@vthokie83 Seems @fthompson251 has essentially the same setup I do (Aurender-Coda-Legacy), so it makes sense that I start with the Denafrips rig offered by @audioman58. Just hope he is still selling these when my left ear has been fixed so I can hear the differences. Terminator had dropped off my short list after the Vinshine fiasco, but learning about Audioman58's dealership has brought me back. (That's assuming product support is still available in USA -- though my current DAC went to Canada for repair when under warranty).

@fthompson251 Never posted mine because doing so would be of no value to anyone -- it's a weird room neither worthy nor capable of replication. Also, because I know so little compared to the many experts here, I offer advice only on "beginner" questions, so it doesn't matter "where I am coming from." Your setup, on the other hand, would be very instructive as it is replicable. What you & I share is an affinity for Aurender, Coda, Legacy, Denafrips gear and their potential synergies.

@blisshifi Is USB connection superior to coax in this pairing? And would you advise a DDC between?
