DAC or pream

Hello. I would guess that the Emotiva PT-100 is your weak link. That's a lot of features to have in one box for only $329. Preamp, DAC, phono amp, tuner, headphone amp and even Bluetooth. I would bet the Parasound P6 would be a good step up. If you want to have the one box solution.

Budget?

Oh and FYI your Emotiva is a preamp so yes you will still need preamp capabilities. Now some DAC's have built in volume controls so they can act as a "digital" only preamp but don't usually have analog switching. But you said you don't need that anyway so that could be a possibility for you. However quite often a dedicated preamp will sound better but that is a topic for another day,
