Weeeelll… I could pair with an external dac.

I have and recommend this: https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-amp2/

@mikeb Does that have a dac built in? I could then pair that with a raspberry pi 4and a case correct?

Yes it’s complete, just stick it on the pi, but you might need a new case due to the extra height. Nice thing with that design, you only have one power code, as the board supplies the pi with power.

How about the Micromega MyAmp…

I have one I am no longer using. PM me if interested

Grace m900 (or m9xx from Drop/formerly MassDrop) is better than Topping. Elegant design, excellent sounding headphone amp + pre out from a company that does mainly Pro Audio. No power amp, though. Works great for me with powered speakers & headphones. Check e-By for used to save $.

Thanks all. got a Topping DX3 and a Fosi amp. Looks like they will drive my Micca speakers well. I appreciate all the input.
