Affordable DAC That Doesn't Resample High Rate DSD?

That looks very interesting. However, it looks like I'd need a separate preamp to meet my requirements, and I'm reluctant to do that.  The reasons are (1) I have tried both going through a Spectral preamp and sending the DAC output direct to amp in my current setup, and direct sounds a lot better to me; (2) extra cables and an extra box - I prefer going in the direction of greater simplicity.

I currently have Holo May and Spring 3 with preamp module. Even though the MUSICIAN PEGASUS is in my 16-year old son’s bed room system, I do not feel my son needs a pre-amp. I can not find a good preamp can do better than HQPE volume control and the balance output of Pegasus has way too much head room to drive any of my amp collections.
