Getting lossless Apple Music to my dac
Nobody needs a streamer. Unless they are interested in top shelf SQ.          
Internal DAC quality vs external DAC's
Internal for streamer "starters" or dCs. I see no reason for placing a DAC in an amp except for a sale to a "consolidator." Then one has increased complications for upgrade itis.  
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated

Nuprime Stream-9 Streamer

You know you have audiophile system when...
Tell me why I should care.  
What are the good (inexpensive) headphone amps?
Hard to beat a Vali 2 with a liked tube.  
Heard the Margo Timmons solo release?

I got blisters on me fingers.  
2 channel preamp for music only system
Yes. It’s all a matter of gain. I look at features first in a preamp.The stuff you suggest is fine. I would just make sure they do what you desire.
