DACs that do well without a preamp
I use a FiiO M11 directly to a tube audio research amp using balanced cables and it’s phenomenal. Had a nice tube preamp in there as an experiment and didn’t matter much if at all.   FiiO gives you 4.2v output on the balanced connection       
What do audiophiles do in their cars?
Mid 2000’s BMW’s have a 825w - 16 speaker, Dirac tuned system called “individual audio system” - pretty good start… only m3 and such along with x5m’s, as an option. Now they have B&O.
