Anyone have a recommendation for a compact preamp/dac that ideally has Optical out to use to powered speakers as well as a Headphone amp if possible. Streaming and airplay would be amazing also.
I looked at the node 2i but I honestly do not like it’s optical input option. The Yamaha WXC-50 has everything I need other then the headphone amp. Project Pre Box S2 looked ok without a streamer function or optical out. Anything about 12 inches wide or less is as big as I can fit.
