Which is the better match for Elac Navis ARB-51 bookshelf speakers - ADI-2-DAC FS, Chord Qutest (with Sbooster BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply + MKII Ultra) or Denafrips Venus.

[Momtazul Arefin]

I have recently purchased Elac Navis ARB-51 bookshelf speakers.

Looking for a compatible DAC that can bring the best out of them.

My current choices are ADI-2-DAC FS, Chord Qutest (with Sbooster BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply + MKII Ultra) or Denafrips Venus.

Now I am looking for suggestions based on real listening experience on how these sounds.

Goal is to find the right balance and synergies between the DAC and the Speaker.
