If you're getting the C2+dac19 because you think the sparrow isn't as hi-fi as you require, I recommend burning it in 300 hours first because all audio-gd gear are considered to require hundreds of hours of burn-in to sound right, 2 hours isn't enough. The sparrow is actually really good even compared to my dac19mk3 rca+phoenix single-ended (should be similar to c2+dac19), the differences are there, but it may not be the kind of changes you were expecting. Keeping the sparrow and experiencing its sound will give you a better idea of what you may get from higher end audio-gd gear, or whether you even need to upgrade. Plus it has an incredibly small size and low power consumption for audio-gd gear while using much of the same topology.
