I’m using the new Node N130 into a Denafrips Pontus ll dac to my integrated amp. All Dac’s have analog outputs that you plug into your preamp, amp or integrated amp. Some Dacs can be used as a preamp( they have volume controls). There a many in every price range to choose from. What kind of music do you listen to? Besides digital to analog conversion, what do you want yours to do? How do you want it to sound? Some are warm sounding and some are very digital sounding.
There’s a bit more than price to consider when buying a Dac.
All the best.
