Agreed. Reintroducing the output of either Aqua DAC into the digital domain in a budget piece like the Anthem is a bad idea. I've heard the Formula. It's among the smoothest and most analog sounding DACs to be had. If you can afford it, then upgrade to a better preamp.
DAC - Aqua Formula or Aqua La Scala
Looking at upgrading my DAC. Running an Innuos MKIII (2TB) through the DAC in the Anthem STR Pre-Amp. My pre-amp is running to an Anthem STR Amplifier. Speakers are the Paradigm Persona 9h’s.
The DACs on my shortlist at the Aqua La Scala and Aqua Formula. Any user feedback on the Formula and/or La Scala is appreciated.
