RE: this should do it

>>>The Assemblage DAC2 and D2D combo doesn't actually sound any better on I2S, even on pass thru. I have both Mk1 and 2 versions.

A Dac can only sound 'so' good no matter what you do to it or have it connected too. There will always be a limit to the amount of resolution and information retrieval from a Dac. My Havana went through an extensive overhaul but still can not surpass my Ref7 in overall sound.

The best thing to do is to buy the absolute best Dac you can afford and even spend a little more if you can... But before you start spending money on anything its best to educate yourself on the subject, otherwise you will just be shooting in the dark and blindly following recommendations.
