DAC/Preamp upgrade - novice question

In this case, I’m going to suggest a Schiit Freya+ preamp ran in active tube mode if you want a significant change in sound. 

 

If you're dead set on a DAC upgrade, I would suggest a Schiit Gungnir Multibit and using a good digital volume control, carefully.

Parenthetically, the output stage of most DACs is a simple op amp, so it certainly could affect SQ in a meaningful way - but it seems that no one chooses a DAC on this basis. I’m surprised we don’t see more discussion about this, apart from use of discrete op amps rather than chips.

 

Most? You think so? I believe this is true at the low end of the spectrum, but not much higher.
