first off, I'm new, and I love learning about audiophile stuff, do separate DACs have a power outlet to be powered by wall eoutlet? what makes amps and DACs combatible?
Keep the amp all analog imo...just add in whatever dac you want and connect to a line Input. In this way, you can update or upgrade the dac only and keep the amp.
+10 for replies suggesting integrated Pre especially for a budding audiophile with limited mobility. Enjoy the music. Pick your speaker and then build around them. Consider various options.
Rogue's Hybrid (tube pre with class D amp) Pharaoh is a worthy contender at reasonable cost.
