My sources are a Arcam 23t cd player, A laptop for streaming, a TV.

I don't know who told you that, but you should be able to use any CD player or DAC. You'd probably do just as well using a passive pre-amp though. You can even get pre-amps with decent DACs built in.

This sort of thing is available, it might suit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-DAC-A...iiA:rk:76:pf:0

The Xiang Sheng units have been well enough received and the seller Douk is good.
