DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer

I'm very familiar with your speakers and they a sound lovely.  I would shy away from a R2R DAC with your speakers, they might sound too dull.

I had my Innuos Zen Mk III connected to a Schiit Yggy and loved it.  The latest iteration of the Yggy (+) has very good reviews.  Plus it's upgradeable.

I'd go with the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC. Simply unbeatable.

I understand why some would think so, and I would not argue that it should be on a "must hear" list, but this stuff is all about "the ear of the beholder."  I owned a Tambaqui and would describe the sound as "perfect", but I sold mine because I enjoy the sound of two other DACs I own more.

Hello,

I also use the Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 as a streamer running Sense via USB into my T+A Dac200 then into my Krell gear. I am quite happy with this chain, but I am considering changing from USB to I2S just to see if/how it is different. My prior DAC was the Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE, but I found that too soft. I also tried the Krell DAC, which I liked, but it was missing what I describe as energy.   The worst DAC I tried was the internal one in the Innuos Zen Minik Mk3 - but I ran that with Roon.

As previously suggested, just try a few and listen to what happens. If you can’t or don’t want to buy new with a return policy, you might try used as you should be able to resell it for what you paid for it.

Good luck.
