junk88, Let's cut to the chase here. If you're new at this then I would suggest running your dac into an integrated amp as some have suggested. You don't need to worry about amp/dac compatibility unless you are trying to run a dac direct to the amp which I highly suggest you avoid as a beginner. The preamp section of an integrated or a pre-amp that plugs into an amp will accept the input from any dac. The quality of these components can be debated and I'm sure we can offer suggestions once we understand your budget, speakers and musical tastes. My mother in law has been in a wheelchair nearly all her life so I understand your limitations. All the best to you in this endeavor and remember........have fun!
