DAC suggestion for PC
Do not obsess about a chip if you are truly interested in "better" sound. A PC is a limited as a source so that a DAC is only gonna get you so far. You might find that Fidelizer makes a bigger difference than DAC choice.

Long USB cable recommendation
Qobuz has been "working" on "connect" for ~3 years. Hold your breath.

for streaming why not computer/galvanic isolation/DAC clock?

One DAC to Rule it All
No. Any proof for you is in the listening.

SPDIF to and from an old preamp? Silly. Get a DAC with enough inputs for your needs (remote controlled if you know what’s good for you) and plug its analog output into an aux input on the preamp Or get modern an buy an all-in-one like an A20, o...
