Sound is tops. Ive had a few really good dacs and I like this the best. If needed there is a simple mod to bring the vc into play. Some prefer it this way. I don't although it's handy for matching

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

DAC wise you could of course also buy British and support British engineering, such as the Caiman SEG.

A rega brio amp should fit the bill power wise with a good phono stage.
A SEG is a very good dac with an excellent head phone section.
This pairing would save change for a pair of cans to let your daughter listen late at night.

I have one of these and can recommend it highly. Has one analogue input but the rest are digital. More than powerful enough to drive your speakers and the bluetooth dongle is very useful for streaming from a phone or tablet.

I should have added that this amp does not require a separate dac, though you will need a phono preamp. One option is a Rega phono preamp which has a usb digital out.
I only noticed the low price of $249 after I posted my earlier comments. Do not be put off by this. This is a quality amp.

A SMSL Sanscrit available from Amazon for less than 100 pounds should be on your shortlist.
I have one and for the money it is a superb listen, besting the on-board converter in my Roksan CDP.
It has optical, coax and usb inputs and with its all metal construction really looks the part....check out the many reviews.
