You hear that? *changes volume on remote control* That’s the sound of me not having to stand up between every track just to change volume (I listen to mixed play lists). -Ed

Might want to mention a budget. Otherwise, my recommendation would be Schiit Freya+, which is what I use. It has a remote, which is a pretty nice one, and it does not have BT or a DAC. I feed my Freya+ from a Musician Draco DAC. It has a tube buffer mode (I rolled quad Linlai E-6SN7s in mine)...

Use only the right channel XLR input on each amp if running dual ZA3s as monoblocs. Does your subwoofer have stereo, line-level inputs, or only a single mono input? If yours also has stereo line level inputs, connect the RCA/single-ended stereo output from your DO200 to the subwoofer's stereo...

Yes, you can use that setup. I have done exactly the same except with ZA3, but the concept is the same. I have a HiBy R6 Pro II DAP, and I have previously run a 4.4mm balanced TRRRS/dual-XLR cable from the DAP’s balanced Line Output directly to the XLR inputs of the ZA3s’ right XLR inputs...

An unmodified ZA3's volume knob stops with the marker at about 7:00 for minimum volume/zero dB. It's at about 5:00 for maximum travel/full gain. -Ed

Quite a number of people have apparently done this with no issue. -Ed
