Iam no experienced audio guru...but Iam mighty pleased with my sacd/ CD player. Which has dac inputs via coaxial, optical and usb. Since it is a sacd player it plays DSD via usb. Since you mentioned CD and sacd play back, this might be a option to explore. I think I saw a denon sacd player in ad's for sale...May be worth some investigation in my opinion.
By the way funnily I also use my CD player's inbuilt volume control and use it as a preamp to directly feed my power amps. And the sound is pristine to my ears. My own reference preamp ( The absolute sounds reference preamp of 2013 ) as well as some acclaimed ones that I tried, were found noisy in comparison. Though they added better imaging and weight to the sound. So I would recommend to explore this option too. All the best.
