DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer

I currently listen to music through Qobuz with an Innuos Zen Mini Mk III as a server and Roon core.  Rather than the Mini DAC I use the DA2 DAC module in my McIntosh MA8950 integrated amp.  My speakers are Sonus faber Olympica Nova IIIs.  I enjoy the sound quality of this system.

 

When I upgrade my streamer to an Innuos Pulsar, what DACs might I consider that would be an upgrade from the DA2 module and would complement my system?

I have an Innuos Pulse with the Innuos Phoenix USB (together they are similar to the Pulsar) going into a PS Audio DirectStream Mk 1.  I have enjoyed the combination, but realized there was more to pull out of my system.  Yesterday I ordered a Bricasti M1S2.  This should be my final DAC for many years.

The Innuos products deserve excellent DACs.  My understanding is the Innuos listening room uses the Statement NG going streaming into the Chord M-Scaler, then the Dave.  Lots of bucks there.
