dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC


I’m about to upgrade my system from scratch, the speakers will be ATC SCM50ASL Classic active. I don’t have any records, digital rips only on my Innuos Zen MINI & LPSU. 

The dCS Bartok Apex direct into the active ATC is where I want to go. Any opinions about any better matched DAC / DAC streamer/preamp combo that’s better matched to the ATC ?

If you’re seeking a richly musical and thoroughly enjoyable experience, Aries Cerat offers exceptional options. With each model, you'll find significant enhancements in transparency and dynamics. However, if you prefer a more clinical and analytical presentation, DCS stands out as the ideal choice.
