Personally I would start with the preamp and get one that has a good DAC in it to bypass the DAC in the streamer.
You could try a different streamer for cheap too these guys seem to think the ifi zen is better I have not heard either
i don’t agree that efficient speakers need low power. Look at what JBL does in the pro market. They put large efficient horns with silly amounts of power. Low power amps don’t sound better they just have less power. Unless you love tubes and need to keep the cost down there is no reason for low power.
