That's going to sound phenomenal.
For my Chromecast Audio I just use one of these https://audioengineusa.com/shop/components/d1-24-bit-dacheadphone-amp/
I figure that anything streamed is already compressed enough that adding a DAC is a tiny benefit not a significant one. Just something a bit better than the built-in.

looks good - maybe one for @dbr to consider if he rates the DAC as making a difference.
In my set up, it is playing flac files from a NAS and Tidal, via Roon on a fairly cheap windows laptop. The laptop has an Ethernet connection to the router. So in theory, no lossy compression.

Ah, I'm just up the road in Walthamstow. PM me and we can sort something out.
The DAC has USB, toslink and coax inputs; hopefully you can feed in via one of those?
