Trying to consolidate my audio equipment and move my current speaker amp to the living room. I currently have a SMSL M8A v3(ES9038Q2M) that I've had for a few years with a SMSL DA-8S. Ended up buying headphones, Hifiman HE560 v4 a year ago with a Zen Can amp. Tried a Zen DAC but I didn't like the sound of it. I recently picked up a pair of Hifiman HE-r9s as well.

Only options I've found are the PS audio Sprout100, AI-301DA-X and a Shanling EA5 which also include a DAC. Any other suggestions?
